Well that's an easy one. Mostly because it doesn't work. No reason
not to try though! The latest as I understand it is to spend huge
amounts on money on a gigantic tokamak. The "physics theory" behind
this is that if you build a fusion device that has never worked large
enough it will eventually work. A true theory, although the "working
size"appears to be more than a little larger than current plans (star-
sized) . The same theory has been applied to laser induced fusion as
well. Good thing there is no shortage of tax money to build these
things.


As for "Cold Fusion" or "low energy transmutations" those subjects are
currently "politically incorrect" and any mention of them will result
in violent denigrations of your mental heath, loss of your employment,
and expulsion from "science".

Ah, the trick is to get it to work before you open your mouth. :-)
