After those two, DrB proposed to jump straight to the 100MW unit. MSimon has, with some argumentative support from the rest of us, proposed an intermediate scale unit in order to demonstrate continuous operation, while getting closer to, but not making, break-even. Each of these units is research. ...

If there were a bill about energy research rather than deployment, then I'd want to see us do something about it. It seems that the "research" at this point can only be done through deployment. A 100 MW reactor is not something intended for laboratory research. I have not seen discussion for any re...

From what I can gather, work on this bill is due to be completed during Memorial Day weekend; so I understand the urgency. I guess the concern here is to not close the door on fusion-based solutions when energy providers are considering new sources of power generation. But I don't know whether to t...

ACES 2009 language needs to include polywell -- URGENT!

Please read the summary for the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. Activists are currently planning on pressuring legislators about the language for this proposed bill. Right now it doesn't appear to accommodate Polywell. But modifications can be suggested so that there will be more roo...

A lot of the convenient features I am talking about would just be things like pre-installed WordPress and other tools that we can use for mashups on the site. Also nearlyfreespeech offers mysql. So if we get that we can just install any of the numerous GPL tools out there. Not as easy as pre-install...

hosting polywellnuclearfusion.com and other things

I think just about any host provider would work fine, short of the one he was using before. nearlyfreespeech looks really interesting and I would not take it off the table and I would be willing to help manage a site that was hosted there. But someone else would have to pay for it. My personal advan...

Re: polywellnuclearfusion.com site

AWS is actually a solution that, if used correctly, can scale up to 120 processors on demand. I think that would be overkill for static pages. The minimal for running an instance to serve web 24/7 is about $70 per month, which is comparable to a lot of hosing solutions with a dedicated virtual node ...

polywellnuclearfusion.com site

Hi, Bill
I would be willing to host your site for free. I will monitor traffic as necessary and my ISP is usually good about throttling back DOS attacks.
