Cheap, Clean Nuclear Power
I've been spending a lot of time recently learning about a new design for a fusion reactor that could provide cheap, clean nuclear power if it works. And from everything I've learned so far it looks like it has a pretty good chance of working! I first learned of this design when Robert Bussard, the inventor, gave a talk at Google on 2006-11-09 titled "Should Google Go Nuclear? Cheap, clean nuclear power (no really)". Here's a video of that talk:

I would be more enthusiastic had Bussard not waxed similarly eloquently regarding a previous fusion project (the "riggatron") that nonetheless never materialised.
