Gladly -- it's absurd and uninformed! Both fission and fusion are boondoggles by Big Energy to centralize power production and receive massive government subsidies. Fusion will likely never work and wouldn't be safe inherently or otherwise (take some time and read up about fatigue and disposal problems with the metal structures around the fusion reaction). Fission would only "work" for a few decades at best, at huge financial and environmental cost. You might as well advocate coal with sequestration -- equally absurd, for similar reasons. -K _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
