Interesting, and I hope it all works out as they say, but I'd be a little more excited if people hadn't been saying the same thing about fusion since the 1950s. And the following reduced the credibility of the article:
"A fusion power plant producing 1 gigawatt (1 billion watts) of power would cost $2.7 billion, while a coal plant of the same output would cost $2.8 billion, according to their analysis." In a world where even a simple helicopter gunship can be 400% over budget saying how much it will cost for a fusion reactor to make one gigawatt of power when (except for the H bomb) no artificial fusion reaction has ever produced even one watt more power than it took to produce it , well..., it's just irresponsible. Meanwhile we already know how to make fission Thorium reactors that could supply as much energy as we will ever need, but they are virtually ignored.
