"Russia's economy is highly dependent on its hydrocarbons, and oil and gas revenues account for more than 50% of the federal budget revenues."http://www.eia.gov/countries/cab.cfm?fips=RS

Time to fully develop that Vodka industry.

So they developed it and are now looking for government and other partners. I thought we had to "invest" in scams for political donors to get green energy? Staff?

Corporations are bad.

Sounds awesome. I can hardly wait for 2024 when I'll then be able to buy a truck equipped with its own 7 foot by 10 foot fusion reactor mounted on the back. Sounds really handy...

Seriously though, if this breakthrough happens... it isn't just Russia that is fucked. How will all of those oil rich arab countries fund their terrorism training camps?

Fusion, riiight.

Not cold fusion, just run of the mill hot fusion.

This one sounds legit.
