We'll see. I know nothing of physics or engineering. I do know hype. In the 1950's, we were assured by these same types of people that fusion energy was but ten years off. In the the 1960's, they said it was twenty years off. In the 1970's, they told us that it was now 30 years away, (do you notice a pattern, here?). By the '80's the so-called experts FINALLY wised up, and stopped handing down predictions. I'll believe it when one of these generators is powering my flying car....
