Here is a link to a story about general fusion.

Wow, this has to be one of the worst researched, most biased articles on fusion that I have read in a long time! Biased a bit?

I drive by the industrial park they're located in at least once a week, the reporting is typical for this town.

some experts say poses serious dangers.

Heh. To the investors, maybe.

I don't know if I'd heard Bezos was involved before.

Best of luck to them, it's an interesting approach and it's not impossible it could work.

Richardson said General Fusion is still three years away from actually attempting a fusion reaction

Hmm, a ways off.

There are also questions as to whether or not an actual fusion reaction could legally occur in B.C. because the province has a ban on nuclear energy.

Canadian law now apparently supersedes physical law. Good news if there's ever a nuclear war, I guess.

I used to drive by the sign that told me I live in a nuclear weapons free zone all the time. Probably the only thing left standing after the magnitude 9 hits.

The tree huggers dont mean "all nuclear power", they mean "fission power plants and nuclear weapons", because peaceful fyoooozhun power is CLEAN and therefore GREEN.
