But there is much distance to cover before Laberge's idea leads to a device that generates electricity. "This is not making energy," he says of his machine. "I'm dumping 100 kilojoules of energy, and I'm making about one nanojoule. But it shows that the technique of crushing the plasma to high density has some merit to it, and getting a few fusion neutrons out" -- neutrons are a telltale sign of a fusion reaction -- "well, I call them my marketing neutrons."

Awesome. I just got into an argument with a buddy of mine the other night about this thing. He said that cold fusion was already viable and commercially available. I laughed.
