Reframing fusion, managing expectations
Fusion is "oversold" but underfunded. One of the main goals of FFS is to reframe fusion - to get the emphasis on a more constructive, problem solving tack, to come up with a more compelling narrative that engages all of us in this shared challenge.

Catchall for topics we've discussed before that don't support our cause, and the admins (and many users) decided to move out of the way. Also odd energy concepts out there on the edge of reason. Please keep your posts in this area brief - e.g., put a link to a site that talks about your energy approach rather than attempt to explain it all here.
