What Paul Allen (Microsoft) is doing...

He has invested in a similar fusion system through a company called "Tri Alpha Energy." Information on this outfit is surprisingly sparse...you can see a writeup on it on page 14 of this document.

Further looking around showed that Tri Alpha put out a huge load of job openings on the internet back in December.

They don't seem to have a dedicated website. On a long list of high-tech companies, they were one of about five that didn't have a URL listed.

I'm quite encouraged that these people are putting money into energy production research. What do you want to bet that like the genome project, they're going to hit pay dirt before the government fusion projects do.
