I watched this amazing episode of Horizon last night. It was about fusion energy and how it is coming along. Really fascinating.

Unfortunately, i don't think our friends in the US can view the BBC Iplayer site but you may be able to find this episode elsewhere. Maybe on Youtube or Google Video. To the guys and gals in the UK, please watch this. It is great!

I have watched this a few times now (I know I should get a life :shock: not so much the small scale they are working on at the moment ... but the earthquake they produced as a by-product is a tad frightening
P.S note to admin ... the smiley under the chair which would have been fitting in the post does not seem to be working.

Indeed. But where would we be if we weren't willing to take risks?
