According to the comments in the article this is based off of Deuterium, Tritium (D-T) fusion (which is the easiest to do). 80% of the energy from D-T fusion is in the form of high energy neutrons. The neutron flux is 100 times more than in conventional fission reactors which causes high levels of radiation in the vessel containing the fusion ( fusion vacuum vessel too hot for one year").

Tritium is not plentiful on this planet, so one solution that may solve both the high speed neutron energy capture and the breeding of Tritium is to surround the D-T reaction with Lithium which will 1) absorb the neutron's energy, and 2) create Tritium and Helium from the Lithium. So now we have electricity storage (Lithium batteries) and electricity generation (D-T fusion) bottle-necked by the same element: Lithium

Note that Tritium is radioactive and could leak or experience containment issues.

I am not so certain this will solve anything that current generation fission reactors don't solve just as well, except marketing / branding: I think selling the people on a fusion reactor in their backyard is easier than the fission one.

According to wikipedia they are planning to use Deuterium-Tritium fusion reaction which makes the majority of energy through high speed neutrons: D-T reaction, which are notoriously difficult to extract energy from. Letting the neutrons bombard a stainless steel shell, which gets hot, heats water, turns a turbine, is the standard way to do things, but the steel shell becomes brittle and radioactive pretty quickly. I hope this actually solves something rather than simply being another method to use more exotic fuel, and reactor equipment, to produce radioactive results along with power.

Please realize that the SEC levies a tax on every transaction (buy and sell) http://www.sec.gov/News/PressRelease/Detail/PressRelease/1365171514024#.UjHRW6BTO5M

Also the market has a fee structure that charges if one take liquidity (order execute immediately and takes an order off the book) and gives a rebate on orders that provide liquidity (order remains on book for some period of time). http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=pricelisttrading2

In my opinion a better solution is for the market to increase the minimum latency for a transaction. For example, every second all the orders sent to the exchange are reconciled and the results sent to the originators of the orders, as well as the updating all public data like national best bid, best ask prices. This would almost completely neuter very high speed trading engines, as their data and updates on filled orders would be the same as everyone else, viz. 1 second. Note, the 1 second is an arbitrary amount of time, but I would fix it to be several times a minute, but no faster than 500 ms.

Though interesting, I wonder how much this is just going to enable the adult-onset diabetes people, to continue the refined sugar-laden diet that got them where they are. I have witnessed too many (overweight) people chugging quarts of sugared soda while having to shoot up insulin.
