You know if New Line gave $250 Million to a hobo as an act of charity then I think this numbat would have a point.
But they didn't. They gave it to Wingnut films, a business that they had signed a contract with.
By Jove! No-one's ever thought of that before! Usually we just give criminals a jolly good talking to, but this "Jail" idea of yours might just do the trick!
What I mean is if fusion is cheaper than oil then people are going to use it. The oil companies can try to suppress it, but in the end people are going to vote with their feet.
And no oil company/government conspiracy is going to stop them buying cheaper energy.
If producing energy via nuclear fusion is cheaper than extracting oil, then the oil companies are going to be to do diddley squat to stop it. If on the other hand it cost more than oil, then fusion has got a problem.
I will also point out that nuclear fusion isn't going to be a hundred percent clean process. There will be some radioactive by products. Just not anywhere on the scale of nuclear fission.
Here's a radical idea (maybe too radical for DARPA) that just might work. How about we refrain from military conflicts unless they are absolutely, positively necessary?
First of all DARPA is the research arm of the DOD. Secondly, the military doesn't like to fight a war unless they absolutely have to. Unfortunately, they don't get to choose their fights. The President does that.
rant: And if they had sent those 500,000 troops in the first place instead of pussy footing around maybe Iraq wouldn't be in the mess it is./rant

Sick of being bullied.

Then you need the Russian Mafia Chemistry kit. Now with Polonium 210!!
When are you people going to learn! It's not a Lexus, it's a series of tubes.
If I could I'd give you +5 insightful.
Maybe Hollywood should pay royalties to Hong Kong and European film companies for all of those god awful remakes they do.
So basically they've invented an emo lizard.
...so black even the white bits will be black.

No, this means that the internet is far older than we thought.
I don't want to even think what God does to a kitten if someone watches Grey 17 is Missing
Clearly this is a build up of magnetic radiation coming from the nuclear waste dump on the other side of the moon.
Nothing to worry about, it's all perfectly natural.

... to come out of this. There'll be one less monster in the world.
It's Fin-Licking good!!!!

Cause as an arsehole, I'd only be interested in it if it had whale skin hubcaps

And here I was hoping someone would take a stand against Survivor and the rest of its' ilk.
