I wrote about focus fusion and other alternative fusion projects here:

Just ctrl-F “fusion”. I can still edit this so please let me know what you think.

Some background (which hopefully won’t get this thread capped!):

MIT is running a contest to crowdsource solutions to global warming. Last year I was one of three contest winners with the “carbon rights” proposal:

As a result, I got to present my proposal to congressional staffers and to the U.N. Secretary General’s personal advisory team on climate issues. The latter was especially gratifying…after the formal presentation we sat around a conference and discussed the ideas for another twenty minutes. So, there’s a chance that if I were lucky enough to be a winner again this year, the SecGen will end up aware of FF.

Over the next few days, a team of scientists will look over the proposals and comment on them. After Sept 30, judges will select finalists, and we’ll get one last span of time to edit the proposals. Final winners will be chosen in part by judges, and in part by votes of users on the site during the first two weeks of November. Details on this year’s contest are here:
