It seems to me that many of the postings are of an advertising nature. With regards to fusion in this decade, let me state that many intelligent plasma physicists are working in this field, and that I have not yet seen any better schemes (including the Prometheus II device) proposed. Of course, I may change my mind later, but judging from the successes of all current fusion devices (:-)), I won't hold my breath. -- bill peter ihnp4!lanl!wkp "Plasma physicist: a physicist standing too near a nuclear event."
