A Green Energy Warehouse?

This isn’t my typical blog style, and I promise to get back to more pressing industry news with my next one, but I am so fascinated by this story that I could not pass it up. (It takes place in a warehouse so, techincally, it’s industry related.)

Apparently there is a guy in Brooklyn named Mark Suppes, a web developer for Gucci (the fashion designer), who built a nuclear-fusion reactor in his spare time. Yes, you heard me right.

It is housed in a Brooklyn warehouse, and Suppes has spent more than $35,000 to build his reactor, the 38th independent one ever built. His goal, he says, is to “help solve the world’s energy crisis.” It’s a noble idea, I suppose, since an article on yahoo.com called fusion energy the “holy grail of green technology, since it produces no nuclear waste or greenhouse gases.”

There a lot of ways to go with analysis of this story, but I’ll just say, “Wow.” With all the talk in our industry of green technology and ways to build more efficiency into a warehouse, this isn’t the angle I thought I’d find.

Best of luck to Mr. Suppes and all the “fusioneers” out there.
