Claimed Breakthrough on Fusion Energy
Posted by freedomforall 10 years, 5 months ago to Technology
Lockheed Martin Corp said on Wednesday it had made a technological breakthrough in developing a power source based on nuclear fusion, and the first reactors, small enough to fit on the back of a truck, could be ready in a decade.
As far as I am concerned if you solve a problem like this you get to be crazy rich as a reward for having done something this awesome.. Also, while the electricity problem is a awesome win.. Remember that the real thing that the system does is create amazing high temperatures. Which could also be used to very quickly desalinate water via distillation, or if you want to really get outside the box you now have the energy needed to cheaply take c02 out of the air and make it back into gasoline..
Awesome! I don't know how I missed it.
I think this could be a serious game changer.

P.S. They are saying a pickup sized unit... like everything else I expect one day they will be able to reduce the scale and we may actually see a"Mr. Fusion" small enough to power a vehicle or home!
Or to power off world liberty habitats.
