Childish drivel.

Why so? Wouldn't a successful fusion reactor be a good thing for the 
energy dependent world?

Of course, and it will be here any day now just like it has been for
the last 50 years or so.

"gleaming research lab"

"Han Solo's Millennium Falcon"

"towed in for repairs after a run-in with the Imperial fleet"

"dark horses in fusion energy"

"naturally purr along"

"metal-bending magnetic disruptions"

"devilishly hard"

Who writes this drivel?

People who "write" rather than "do". I suppose there's a need for both 
but they don't always come up with the same solutions.

Keep in mind I have a "PULSE FUSION MACHINE" and 55 years have worked out every bug. TreBert

Yeah, sure, and it powers an air filter manufacturing plant aboard a
barrel boat...
