DIY Fusion

I read an inspiring article over at gizmodo today.  It's about 2 science dudes, one that was government funded and very close to a breakthrough in fusion based enrgy.  And another self funded non-scientist who picked up where the first guy left off. 
  It reminded me a lot of being a in a punk band in high school, we had no idea how to make music, but that part didn't concern us, we were gonna make music anyway. 
     I guess it's different cuz this guy is trying to solve one of the world's biggest problems, and  I just wanted to hear some music other than paula abdul, but the guiding principle was the same for both of us.
