    A fascinating article. This is the first I have seen of a timeline, and it is very encouraging. One interesting technical point mentioned is the problem of how to get rid of waste heat, and I have a suggestion.

    We who live in coastal Southern California can only look forward to ever increasing shortages of pure water. We have had cutbacks and rationing in the past, and they seem to be in our future.

    My town is situated to make a very productive use of the waste heat, distilling water from the Pacific Ocean to get fresh. I have already done the math, and the number of 5MW plants sufficient to supply us with electricity and end our dependence on the grid would be nearly enough to supply us with all the water we need and avoid any shortages. Many other communities which do not have access to the ocean nonetheless have substantial amounts of brackish groundwater which could be purified.

    Keep on. I am looking forward to all of this.

    When I click on that link I get ERROR 403 – FORBIDDEN from HostGator.com. If I copy that url and paste it into a browser it works fine. I don’t know what the difference is.

    yes, i see. but you never actually left focusfusion.org, so it’s a site config problem here, that occurred some time after i posted the link.

    sigh… the url redirector for ff.org is not working right. gotta manually convert every “% 2 F” into a /

    EDIT: Haha… seems the forum comment system properly converted my example.

    Actually, the redirect was broken when the new crowdfund-oriented front page was pasted on top of the old front page code.

    I’ll fix it when I get some time.
