Princeton scientists overcome key setback in achieving nuclear fusion
- chiefalchemist 4y agoTrue story. I live near Princeton (NJ). Approx 5+ yrs ago I was out one evening in P'ton for drinks. Bumped into an acquaintance. She was sharing a table with a guy. I stopped to chat. Long to short he was David Gates from PPPL. Two things I remember: 1) He was down to earth and was glad to field my novice questions about fusion. (I didn't know exactly who he was til I looked him up the next day). 2) When I asked if fusion was going to happen, he said yes and that it was a matter of getting more money to back the research. It's simply a matter of time. https://innovation.pppl.gov/people/david-gates https://innovation.pppl.gov/people/david-gates
