Why is it that there is no "listening" for the promise of fusion technology?

Not the cold fusion of charlatans and garbage science but the honest-to-god kind that has successfully generated temps higher than 600 million degrees!

can't you just drop it into an active volcano, with some weights attached that make it heavier than magma?

One slight problem: what do you do when the volcano erupts and spews radioactive magma and ash over several miles? Personally, I think the radioactive wastes should be given free of charge to all the free-energy promoting, conspiracy theory spewing scammers out there; they can be told that it's some revolutionary substance that can produce over-unity energy.

hey, thats a broad brush you are painting with... there are conspiracy theories..and then there is the truth! be careful of which is which. If we are talking the global recession, that is something that was once a conspiracy, and is now a reality, because the swindlers are getting away with it. Just for a minute, it would be nice to have a few people lined up against the wall.

the over-unity group is an indication of the decline of the education system, and is more closely related to the conspiracy to undermine education in the last 30 years. don't blame the product, blame the producer. It isn't a crime to be unaware, but it should be a crime to be aware, and not to teach. (CR4 is pretty good at teaching them)

No Chris. You wouldn't need weights as depleated U is alot heavier than magma. The problem is to keep it from regurgitating and spewing all that toxic waste back into the environment. Thus the subduction plate, moving at about 2-3 inches a year with a suitable cap, would shift enough in a decade or so to bury the disposal site. Meanwhile another well is being drilled for the next batch. I envision a seafloor railbed. The drill head could be moved untill sufficient wells are drilled that the first hole could be recyled.

Encapsulating the waste, providing the cap, and all attendant technologies are not here, YET.

is this something we have done? drill that deep?

"That deep" depends on where. Right now a couple miles is no biggie. But as the diameter of the shaft increases, so would the difficulty.

Actually drilling as far as the magma isn't necessary. Getting down to the underlying plate would suffice. We're both asking questions for a geophysicist and a drilling engineer to answer. I believe it's do-able, soon.

Fusion technology (and i think anti-gravity tech.) would do well to add harmonics to the research platform. All them little strings and foam bubbles need some music to dance to. Vibrations are what caused us, let us take advantage of that when trying to tweek reality.

Om, Aummm.
