Okay, we've all heard about the that debunked cold-fusion announcement a few years ago. Now, I just read this article about some kid in Utah who has built his own little fusion reactor. At first, I thought it was a joke because of the name (Farnsworth from Futurama), but it looks like a real article. And the website appears to be Salt Lake City's actual online newpaper.

Is this kind of desktop fusion not really a big deal? Why am I not reading about this elsewhere?
