[A press-cutting from The Independent for 900904:3 inserted here in the ms, headed ‘Fusion scientist tells of huge research costs', by Tom Wilkie, Science Editor, includes the following passages: ‘The European Community will have to spend more than £30bn over the next 50 years on nuclear fusion research before the technology will first produce electricity commercially, a conference in London was told yesterday.... Charles Maisonnier, who heads the fusion research programme at the European Commission, said that the first commercial electricity-producing fusion reactor would not begin operating until 2040 at the earliest.... Construction would not start on a demonstration power-producing reactor until about 2020, he said.’]**

I include this because of the symbolism of fusion being perhaps achieved at around 2048ce, the 2048 year (and possibly 4096 year) C degree, whose principle, of course, is Attraction, and whose quality is Unity.

**(The notion of fusion providing cheap, safe power for all has been around for as long as I can remember.)

[The timescale suggested in the article seems at present remarkably accurate, with private companies now beginning to put serious private capital into the development and production of commercial fusion reactors using various methods of containment, and mostly, it would seem, looking at commercial electricity production around 2040. <20211128>]
