Remember Nuclear Fusion?

The currently plan to build the ITER, the experimental eletrical production fusion reactor, is on it's way. Basically, it is expected to prove existing technology can power commerically viable fusion energy. I suspect, and dearly hope, it will finally work.

Table-top fusion, in a much, much less useful variety, has also abeen demonstrated.

Everything I read suggests that the planet doesn't have all that much time- I don't care what it takes, half our nation's budget, Bill Gates' loose change, bad thought taxes, whatever. It could end wars over energy resources, pollution, poverty, water shortages. The clock on life on earth is ticking, and our greed is not abating.

Stop arguing. Get this damned thing working.
