Is it hot in here, or is it just the fusion reactor?

China broke a record with its Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor on Friday when it sustained a plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds, according to the state-run outlet Global Times. The reactor was also able to sustain a temperature of 160 million degrees Celsius for 20 seconds.

For perspective, the core of our solar system’s Sun “only” reaches about 15 million degrees Celsius, according to Space.com. So, for a moment, EAST got more than 10 times hotter than that.

This marks a big milestone for the EAST reactor, which has been dubbed the “artificial Sun” for its ability to replicate the natural nuclear fusion process of stars. Doing so could help unlock the mystery to creating sustainable, reliable fusion power.

Whenever I come across anything about alternative energy sources I get a whiff of environmental parasites, Wall Street sharpshooters, and the United Nations’ claim to ownership of the atmosphere and the oceans. That is why Hot fusion reminded of Cold fusion.



Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged surely thought Cold fusion would be the power source for Galt’s Gulch.


While in the valley, Dagny develops a romantic relationship with Galt, although it remains physically unconsummated – which is linked to her refusing to join the strike. After she returns home to New York, Galt takes over the airwaves, delivering a lengthy speech that explains what he sees to be the irrationality of collectivism and offers his own philosophy (Ayn Rand's Objectivism) as an alternative. Galt speaks against what he sees as the evil of collectivism and the idea that individuals must be responsible for each other, and says that should be replaced by voluntary association and adherence to rational self-interest. Seeking Galt after the speech, Dagny accidentally leads the authorities to him, and he is arrested. She and the strikers rescue Galt as the government tortures him. They return to Galt's Gulch and prepare to rebuild the rest of the world, as the collapse of the incompetent government nears.

NOTE: The Bible is the only book that sold more copies than Atlas Shrugged. That is reason enough to combine a masterpiece to make a point. Unfortunately, Cold fusion contained all of the elements needed for a “clean energy” investment scam.


Cold fusion is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature. It would contrast starkly with the "hot" fusion that is known to take place naturally within stars and artificially in hydrogen bombs and prototype fusion reactors under immense pressure and at temperatures of millions of degrees, and be distinguished from muon-catalyzed fusion. There is currently no accepted theoretical model that would allow cold fusion to occur.

In 1989, two electrochemists, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, reported that their apparatus had produced anomalous heat ("excess heat") of a magnitude they asserted would defy explanation except in terms of nuclear processes. They further reported measuring small amounts of nuclear reaction byproducts, including neutrons and tritium. The small tabletop experiment involved electrolysis of heavy water on the surface of a palladium (Pd) electrode. The reported results received wide media attention and raised hopes of a cheap and abundant source of energy.

Big money scams begin in institutions of “HIGHER LEARNING” —— they employ thousands of tax dollar parasites —— and rake in BILLIONS OF FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS annually for research and development projects alone. God only knows how high the money will go to after environmental parasites get control of the education industry trough. And that is not counting the subsidies private companies will get, or the money Wall Street hustlers will shake loose in stock scams like Cold fusion.

p.s. Media reporting a scam as though it is the real thing is necessary to gain access to tax dollars. The way Cold fusion was reported years ago told me that Cold fusion was a Wall Street scam. Getting in on the ground floor was the sales pitch 30 years ago. Back then the hucksters claimed Cold fusion was five years away from reality.

Wall Street hustlers stopped pushing Cold fusion after suckerfish stopped biting. Not to worry, the hustlers moved onto selling virtual-reality nonsense that still shows up as the plot in sci-fi movies and TV shows. I guess getting in on the ground floor means the ground floor is made of quicksand.
