I think every country in the whole world ought to chip in some money for more FUSION ENERGY research. That's what you call true "sun energy". Build your own "mini-sun". Get a big fusion reactor built and TRY to make it work.

Fusion energy breakthroughs would definitely make the rich oil companies and the other dirty energy industries like coal nervous. VERY nervous. Fusion energy would put them out of business. Ultra cheap electricity means hydrogen and electric cars everywhere ... or whatever future technology emerges.

Mother Earth will be proud of us when we get there. The energy might be cheap enough to convert sea water into fresh water just as cheaply. Earth would get a lot greener. Plenty of good food for humans and the whole ecosystem. If we don't nuke ourselves, we just might get a little closer to Utopia in 100 years. Who knows? Too bad I'll be dead and can't see it.

I hear that they are making decent progress on fusion actually. New advancements in lasers could be used to fire them at deuterium and tritium pellets in order to get a fusion reaction going. It's just a matter of time before the scientists figure out how to do it. I would just like for them to get around to mastering the technology in MY lifetime instead of 2-3 generations from now. They will be the ones to enjoy ultra cheap energy. Fusion is much safer and environmentally responsible than fission nuclear energy. It's darn near impossible to have a "reactor meltdown" or whatever with fusion and there's very little or no nuclear waste.
