"Lawrenceville plasma physics" is a company that plans to revolutionize energy production with a new fusion reactor, headed by Eric Lerner, author of book "The big bang never happened." http://www.lawrencevilleplasmaphysics.com/ They just got funded by... Iran, after USA funding sources all refused. Here's a video of Lerner explaining: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4w_dzSvVaM Be a big coup for Iran if they succeed, but unfortunately I suspect Lerner's plans will not work. (For example all his plans to directly generate electricity strike me as very dubious...) Still, one has to sort of admire their spunk, perhaps enough of his ideas will work that some progress happens, and I agree with them that neutronless Proton+Boron11 fusion is the only way to go that ever could hope to be economical. (Normal fusion reactions that emit fast neutrons are complete garbage from any economic standpoint since they convert your ultra expensive fusion reactor to radioactive waste... it is totally pointless to develop them. Also, reactors that use tritium are stupid since there is no tritium in the world, and lithium is rare, and a typical outrageous lie told by fusioneers is that lithium-6 could be extracted from seawater at far less than the energy cost you'd get from it, whereas actually those of us who can do high school physics & chemistry can demonstrate it'd probably cost "more" energy, not "way less"...)
