    If there were a net gain in power they would surely advertise that they have generated electricity, but the reality is they have yet to produce more power with the reactor than what it consumes. It operates at a loss.

    Sounds good at first glance.... but how good is it if the reactor does not even produce a net energy gain? It takes more energy to run it than it produces.
