Re: Glib rejoinder

Remind us again how they plan to shield everybody from the neutrons produced by D-T fusion, and where we are going to get the T from?

To quote Wikipedia:

"As can be seen, the easiest to ignite of the aneutronic reactions, D-3He, has an ignition temperature over four times as high as that of the D-T reaction, and correspondingly lower cross sections, while the p-11B reaction is nearly ten times more difficult to ignite."

I'd like a citation for this "sudden...interest in building fusion plants." Because at the moment it looks like pure fantasy
