We DO want publicity–all the time and any time! We especially want some after the machine starts to operate.

Brian is right that there are many steps between starting the machine and demonstrating scientific feasibility. But we will be running initially with only deuterium, not with DT, which we don’t intend to use.

Thanks for weighing in, Eric! Please enlighten us what you hope to gain from early publicity, and whether you think my concerns about getting premature hassles or intervention are paranoid. Is it a matter of hoping to drive up the attractiveness and hence value of participation shares for the second tranche of development & investment?

Yes, please keep us up to date on what you need for publicity, Eric. My aim here is that everybody on the planet is eagerly anticipating FF solving all those problems. Politicians should see it as politically suicidal to oppose FF and/or its desired regulatory changes. Big business should take those cues (no political support for their status quo) as a clear signal to see if they qualify for a license (see the foreign aid paragraph). :bug:
