In recent years there has been a lot more discussion about it because of experiments from different labs. I have to wonder if it is something obtainable in our life time.

I too wonder whether it is obtainable, but if one is not engaged then a goal is not accomplished. "If" Dr. Bussard's concept had foundation, if we had focus, then our energy dependencies would be greatly reduced with clean, unlimited power.
This technology could go toe to toe with the oil and coal industries from the start and be "green". No investment in huge fields of wind turbines, geothermal, solar or hydro.
I am not in favor of the grid, I believe that each community / building should be self sufficient. We are dependent on the grid now, we need a technology that can support it - this is a technology that would be able to on the same or smaller footprint as the current power sources......
I cant help the folks that are trying, but I can kick a few places, such as these forums......
Get engaged ........
