Lockheed - small fusion reactor now more feasible

[GeoffW1]

Hi,

For your interest. This little story buried away in the science columns seems like it should perhaps have been bigger news. Then again maybe it is a bit of market manipulation as Lockheed's shares were falling at the time. In any case they are not backyard crackpots over there.

appears almost identical to an article posted on here about 6-12 months ago?

some old articles go back to feb 2013 - so perhaps just market manipulation or it appears the newer articles mention patents pending whereas they older ones don't ...

Well spotted. It does look like a retread. :mad2: Back to the drawing board.

Well,

It could be a beat-up to put ginger in their share price, because they say they are now out to raise backing funding.

Whatever, I certainly wish them all the best with it.
