There is a facility just become available for Dave to continue his great work on oreo's. It cost $3.5 Billion to build and has failed terribly at it's original goal so I say give it to Dave to make something useful.

On 30 September the National Ignition Facility's (NIF's) two-year-long National Ignition Campaign (NIC) officially came to an end. Despite multiple attempts on the part of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists to create miniature laser-driven thermonuclear explosions, they failed to achieve ignition, the point at which the fusion energy yield exceeds the energy required to start the reaction.
