Michael Pawlyn: Using nature's genius in architecture. The Dark-Horse Lab That Just Might Figure Out Fusion. “Break-even” is the goal of all fusion researchers.

More distant still is a reactor able to generate substantially more energy than it consumes. Artificial photosynthesis: A sunnier outlook.
