What's "rubbish" about it? It's a legitimate news story about
something that some businesses are claiming they can do. That's what
good reporting looks like.

Right. But that's not the big take-away from that story. The big news
is that fusion power is just five years away! I'm pushing 75 pretty
hard, and it's been between 5 and 25 years away for at least 70 of my
75 years. That's because we're stuck in some sort of Star-Trek tachyon
loop, an ellipse, perhaps, in which time is highly elastic and every
time we approach controlled fusion, gravity slingshots us away from it,
only to have our elastic tachyon loop snap us back every 5 to 25 years.
It's a miracle our necks have not all snapped from whiplash. I further
believe that my thinking on this matter is Nobel-worthy (Physics). And
if I can figure out why our necks haven't snapped you can add
Physiology and Medicine to that.

I'm not holding my breath... or investing in those companies. But the
story is good (and emphasizes, more than once, that such claims are
nothing new and have not panned out in the past).
