Are you aware of General Fusion, Inc. (www.GeneralFusion.com), a Canadian pre-IPO startup
engaged in the development and manufacture of commercial nuclear FUSION reactors
for the massive generation of electrical power in a safe, reliable, economical,
environmentally compatible, and non nuclear-weapons proliferation fashion?
General Fusion, Inc. employs Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) technology.
"General Fusion has patented this technology and believes that a reactor
working on this principle could be built at a much lower cost than using the old
magnetic and laser fusion approaches. Such a power plant would make fusion a
commercially viable clean power source." says the GF website.
General Fusion has been working for 4 years on a working prototype that will
be ready in 2 years (2010). Market-ready units would be shipping no later than 5
years later (2015). Those units will be 100 megawatts fusion reactors priced at
about $50M each, which means electricity generated at about the low cost of 4
cents/kilowat-hour. They, being so safe, fit perfectly the "neighborhood power
plants concept", which eliminates centralization, giving the power grid the
modularity that preempts extensive total blackouts.
Commercial fusion could be a key component, if not the key one, in the
equation to achieving America’s dry-surface transportation fuel independence,
which would be accomplished in conjunction with transportation vehicles powered
by electric motors.
Such vehicles would be fed by energy from plug-in batteries, or from
hydrogen-fed fuel cells. To that effect, massive amounts of electric energy
generated inexpensively would be required. Fusion would provide the
solution.
Achieving that momentous goal seems very close, based on the advances that
General Fusion is making in the matter.
It seems that the time may be here for Set America Free considering fusion
seriously as a prospective variable in the solution of the problem posed by the
most urgent need that America become energy independent.
The day General Fusion, Inc. ships its first commercial nuclear fusion
reactor, the prices of petroleum and natural gas will go south, to be followed
by the economy of the petrotyrants and petroautocrats blackmailing America with
their hydrocarbons.
