MSNBC Cosmic Log Summarizes Fusion Activity and Mentions My Skepticism

ByRod Adams

Axil mentioned that Alan Boyle at MSNBC’s Cosmic Log had linked to my skeptical blog about fusion hype in his March 31, 2009 post titled Fusion catches fire. So far, there is no commentary posted, though I have no way of knowing whether or not there are others in the moderation queue. I submitted a comment, but just now realized that I could have been a bit more pithy – today (April 1) might have been a more fitting date for a post titled Fusion catches fire.
