Fusion for electricity. 38 years ago, in our BP research and development budgets we had many £millions allocated to fusion. And BP Solar was big in photovoltaics. But there still no fusion.

It's not a matter of dollars and whatnot, like so many things is a matter of cognitive concepts.

Cold fusion and con fusion have not succeeded.

My theory is that large Hadron collider scale energy in dirty great magnetic field torus tokamak tractors is to much like dumb brute force. Similarly launching rockets with kilotons of exhaust power seems a dumb brute force method of overcoming gravity.

With cute little spin reversal systems in quarks, hadrons, bosons and whatnot, a 200kg pressurized flying saucer could zip up to 50km, accelerate to 5,000 km per hour and get from here to there in a couple of hours. Maybe the energy could be from a fusion reactor.

I better get my prototype going before the competitors.
