That's incredible! Did you see this?

Could this be for real?
The final breakthrough came some time in the last six months, and one
week later their funding was cut.
Bussard says the next step is to build a full-scale generator, because
they've learned how to do it and there's nothing more to be learned with
pilot reactors.
Frankly, it's not cold, but so what? If this is real -- and if he gets
the $200M needed to build the full-scale model -- it could be really
significant.

Nothing to do with cold fusion. Not even cold, just small.
