Hmm I though fusion was supposed to be neigh impossible something to do
with not a net gain in energy.

Interesting article, but it failed to say what the breakthrough was. The
history is interesting .. 60 *years* doing fusion research? That's a lot.

Also that it's small. Distributed & Local .. what a complex, er.. good
idea!

I think they are Jochen,

I bet the reactor is the power plant in this:

which makes it so small and elegant.

Nimitz class aircraft super-carriers are equipped with two 550 MW
reactors. Los Angeles class submarines and Bainbridge class guided missile
cruisers run with 148-165 MW plants.
