'Quark Fusion' Produces Eight Times More Energy Than Nuclear Fusion (futurism.com)
walterbyrd shares a report from Futurism: This new source of energy, according to researchers Marek Karliner and Jonathan Rosner, comes from the fusion of subatomic particles known as quarks. These particles are usually produced as a result of colliding atoms that move at high speeds within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where these component parts split from their parent atoms. It doesn't stop there, however, as these disassociated quarks also tend to collide with one another and fuse into particles called baryons. It is this fusion of quarks that Karliner and Rosner focused on, as they found that this fusion is capable of producing energy even greater than what's produced in hydrogen fusion. In particular, they studied how fused quarks configure into what's called a doubly-charmed baryon. Fusing quarks require 130 MeV to become doubly-charmed baryons, which, in turn, releases energy that's 12 MeV more energy. Turning their calculations to heavier bottom quarks, which need 230 MeV to fuse, they found that a resulting baryon could produce approximately 138 MeV of net energy -- about eight times more than what hydrogen fusion releases. The new study has been published in the journal Nature.
What about Rom Fusion?

Virgina is a flip-fop state. Some times they elect Republicans, sometimes they elect Democrats. There's no consistent pattern. This is no "rout". It's just business as usual. if you think this election is an indication of a trend you probably believed that Hillary Clinton had a 98% chance of winning in 2016.
Nyet komrade. Virginia has had far and away more Democrat governors in the last 100+ years, but––
Spin it how you want, but up until the mid 60s or so, the roles of Democrats and Republicans in the South were reversed. The Democrats were the ones clinging to the old ways: segregation, Jim Crow laws, voter suppression among blacks, etc. Huey Long was a Democrat. George Wallace was a Democrat. Now look at who the governor of Alabama is today! And Mississippi. It'll be interesting to see how the next elections in 2018 and 2019 turn out.
So, since 1966 Virginia has had eight Democrats and six Republicans, but more important than the numbers is that this race was largely seen as sending a message to Twitler. If you don't believe me, don't ask for citations; there are these things called the Internet and Google, you can do the search yourself. If you're not a Russian shill and have an average IQ you should be able to cobble up a google search that will give you the New York Times article, amongst others, as the first result.
As for Clinton's chances in 2016, considering she won the popular vote, and only lost the rigged[1] electoral college vote due to gerrymandering, voter suppression, and Russian interference I fail to see what your point was about "trends." Obviously it's a trend that you and your Nazi brethren hope will fizzle. Those of us in the Resistance are hoping otherwise.
Give my regards to David Duke the next time you see him, will you? Have a nice day.
[1] Yup, ol' Swampthing even told us during the election that it was rigged. Somehow he managed to actually tell the truth about something. I'm sure it was an accident.
