Only another 9999 major breakthroughs to go and they have cracked it.

Seems they do not need it go work.

Think of the jobs! And as to sterling, think of all the free toast.

Harsh - it's a prototype not a dummy. If it is successful it could generate a lot more money than it cost.

Might be harsh but as yet I have come across any evidence that we are at the 'working' prototype stage.

Yeah, but invest in fracking instead of an way to maximise and utilise water, wind and sun to create our energy using the efficient means of liquid hydrogen fro storage, which as a added bonus also can be used to power our cars. (and is better then battery eletric because first off refilling is the same as fueling petrol(a bit slower i think) and it's much lighter then a battery. And contrary to popular belief much less flameable

In the UK Fracking success equates to Fusion success.

An old school friend (well, they're all old now) had a brief stint, as a 6th former, running a pirate radio station from a Harrow basement*, then spent his entire career working on nuclear fusion. The last time we met he had just retired and was looking just a little dejected.
*After the court case he was called to the front of assembly to be given a mild dressing down by a smiling headmaster, whilst the assembled teachers tried & failed to look sombre.

No great surprise that the National Trust are "acting like the captain of the titanic".
Must be sympathetic to our captains of insanity. With them inane fracking fine and cheap onshore wind is still throttled.

Not quite the captain of the Titanic. NT has supported hydroelectric at 10 sites so far. There must be something in this plan which isn't as obvious as it seems.

It's right next to Henley-on-Thames (technically Oxfordshire, but basically a suburb of Knightsbridge).
That's just a suggestion - I've only just heard about this scheme.

This is going the same way as cycle paths in this country an incoherent mess that leads to unsafe situations because for example the one council makes a two way cycle path on the left the other decide to extent the same path on the right or just let cyclist merge onto a two lane 70mph road.. why gives a fark right?
In terms of energy it mean 3001 projects with no comphension or the notion of let them work together, silly idea right?

Whilst there is some worth that wind turbines etc can be deemed unsightly, so are roads, houses and aeroplanes.
