Nowhere on those websites does it say that it's existing and applicable
technology. In fact, one of them clearly states "being developed" about some
of the most crucial elements needed to make it work - most notably the
fusion itself! The rest deals with theory, which is perfectly sound.
The fact remains that, so far, the only practical fusion device possible is
the thermonuclear bomb.

By the way, why does all of this matter to you, anyway?
I thought you said that you, along with a select few others, will be whisked
away by aliens, and the rest of us are going to die horribly when we're
clobbered by an asteroid in 2012. If that's true, what difference does it
make what we use as an energy source for the next 8 years?

Laura, Laura, Laura. It has probably come to your notice that
Alexa isn't quite playing with a full deck. IOW she's a sandwich
shy of a picnic, a few bricks shy of a load, not the brightest bulb
in the GE lineup, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Do you mean to say her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top?
She's one taco short of a fiesta plate? She's skipped a cog?
She's off her trolley? She's got a screw loose? The lights are
on but nobody's home? She's out to lunch? Mad as a monkey on a trike?
Not hitting on all cylinders? She hasn't got both oars in the water?
There are no phones on the planet Pluto? She is living in cloud
cuckoo land? The wheel is spinning but the hampster's dead?

To wit:
She's a loony!

Which one of us the sock puppet?
