November of 2010 is very realistic, imho, unless Eric posts otherwise. My homepage copy and header are a lot stronger now. Next edit will include how fusion will also be the topic of the 2012 Presidential and Congressional races. The sword of Damocles to keep the pols interested, lol.

I enjoy pushing for public acknowledgment and awareness, too — but I deeply distrust the governmental and corporate mechanisms and interests that might get involved. My preference would be to get all the way to functioning prototype, and then say, “TA-DA! Licenses for sale; cheap energy for all forever!” :cheese:
Distrust is easy when one fells dis-enfranchised. The way around that is to make everybody aware that if they don’t do the right thing they won’t be able to win elections or find support in government any more. :coolsmile:

The two halves of your comment don’t connect, for me. I am distrustful more because I can see many ways in which tying up, delaying, taking over, or burying FF would benefit numerous corporate and government interests and priorities. A short-term and parochial response on their part, granted, but that’s how most make such decisions.
