if anyone signs up and get the full article could you please post it here? thanks.

and now from the "go big or go home crowd" ...

After more than 50 years of experimentation, physicists are hoping to develop the
first form of nuclear fusion technology that produces more energy than it consumes.

Within the next fortnight, researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California
will fire 192 separate laser beams capable of generating 500 trillion watts - 1,000 times
the power of the US national grid - for a fraction of a second.

let's just hope their calculations are correct, or goodbye California!
