Coincidentally, my son and I got a tour of the General Atomics Tokomak facility in La Jolla today from our neighbor. It was awesome - http://www.ga.com/energy/d3d.php. We got up close and personal with the Diii-D tokomak. But we also got a detailed look at why we aren't there yet - some of the problems of containment, etc. Our neighbor two doors down is a physicist and has been working there a long time. My son needs an internship next spring as a requirement for high school. Looks like he's going to land one there if they can work it out. He's deep into physics, programming, robotics, engineering - a true self-described geek. Has a heck of a resume already. I'm jealous.
