Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Not entirely sure how much the register thinks it costs.

To design the first ever commercial man made star. But 220 m for such new science. Designed by researchers and specialists in a brand new field. Seems pretty bloody cheap to me.

As for building it being a pipe dream. We are far more prepared for it then we were the first fission power plants. Without some risk progress stops.

Will it cost more. Of course. But it is also the future of energy independence. And based on the first successful smaller design. So far from a pipe dream.

I don't live in it. Although I also know many who do.

My brother and I use it to travel the network for leisure. We are both retired due to health and vision. So we each take it for a few weeks. Moving around the nation. Then get bk us or train to swap over. While the other spends time at home.

That sounds like a great way of doing it :) I've seen some lovely stretches of canal. Do you ever make it over East Anglia?
