NZ Government wastes money on fusion research?
5 February 2026Is it a waste or is it not?
The NZ governmetn has just announced that it is investing up to NZ$35 million taxpayer dollars in fusion research technology through local startup OpenStar Technologies.
Colour me skeptical but I have my doubts that a small, relatively unfunded Kiwi startup will deliver the breakthroughs needed to make sustained over-unity fusion reactions at commercial scale a reality.
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
