    If I had an issue with fusion power, it's that the big money seems to go to projects that WE KNOW WON"T WORK. The Tokomak done right, even if it eventually gets appropriate gain and manages to catch enough neutrons, still has the problem that taking the world's current production of Beryllium and using 100% to power 2% of France is not not economical, but a non-starter of an idea. Why have we already spent billions for a single site project that we know will require billions more before gain of 10 and hours of uninterrupted operation before billions more before it works properly giving off energy that we can't possibly pay for and only benefits France and can't be used for other, better fusion ideas? Spend the money appropriately. I'm down with the deuterium/deuterium interactions where they breed 4H & N or for the deuterium + boron lines of thought. They may/may not work, but at least there's hope they eventually will work. I'm convinced that not only is the Tokomak a dead end, but we know it's a dead end, and it gets the majority of the fusion money.

    Yet, no mention of all the energy required to accumulate these high energy particles before you even start sticking a steam engine on it. Why focus on the high energy particle source for ignition? So you can still control who can use the tech. The world around us shows balance in a universe of varieties of that balance. Yet all we can think up is "make it go faster"?

    It is interesting to see you mention ITER in a positive light. I was under the impression the ITER project was mostly a "show off" nuclear fusion reactor using a bunch of untested, experimental technology and approaches, but without any intent to achieve real fusion breakthrough, the real purpose would be to test other technologies. Glad to know there are people actually commiting to the original view and what was written on the paper.

    Fusion is a no-no, but it keeps them all in a job for life, just like Seti. If our British government thinks it is a good idea, then you know it is anything but. The smart money is elsewhere. Here in Britain our mentally diminutive prime minister thinks wind turbines is the next big thing as well, again, after all the smart money left.

    I would remind the author that fission was invented in the 1940s and by the end of the 1960s we had grid tied operational nuclear reactors. The problem wouldn't be technical it would be bureaucratic. Safe effective and cheap fusion will never be allowed. Because, environmentalism isn't about saving the planet, it's about maintaining a state of want. Fusion would prove, there are not too many people on the planet... as well as a host of other uncomfortable facts.

    There's also the politics of the thing. I'm not a conspiracy theorist and am not offering a conspiracy, but I will offer some baseless speculation. A successful fusion reactor, in particular a small one, would destroy the entire world economy, and worse - it would empower individuals to break away from the collective and collective interest, since unlimited energy allows for chemical synthesis, manufacturing at scale, creation of fertilizers and thus food production - no one would need anyone else, if they knew how to harness the energy. Those people would be free or would see freedom right in front of their noses, while being unable to actualize it for artificial constraints necessarily placed upon them by governments. If you think scarcity is artificial now, hoo-boy! Fusion has to arrive simultaneously with a new organization of society.

    Question: If in a telescope I have two eyepieces with different focal lengths. One has 20mm focal length while another is at 10mm, with the 10mm supposedly producing greater magnification but with a narrower field of field. The trouble is I don’t know why it is like that- why does the 10mm focal length produce greater magnification but is limited to a narrower field of view. I would assume it’s to do with the shape of the lens having more curvature and thus refracting power, but I don’t know how this links in with seeing a larger image. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
