Re: Bollocks
1) Your taking it a bit further than you usually do, stop it, it's weird.
2) Since when did 'old technology' become bad technology? The wheels on my car, and the car itself, are working very well. They are old technology because they work very well.
3) Tokamaks (et al) are awesome! Intense electromagnetic fields are pretty much the only way to contain the raging power of the stars. Practising containment is extremely important if you want to run a continuous reaction for 50+ years as a power station, not for safety, for durability. We just need a big enough machine, come on ITER!
For reasons why this is true, please see theoretical physics.

Based on that, I hope you'll see, the direction for the past 30 years has been bang on! Yay physics!
