I hope Helion Energy succeeds. Their tech seems pretty solid as far as I
understand it. Maybe their success will also bring about renaming helium to
helion, which it should have been in the first place. Naming this element
helium was almost certainly due to the popularity of Edgar Rice Burroughs'
Barsoom (Mars) series.
