And it isn't even used up? And someone actually worries about this? Ridiculous. Compared to, for example, nickel cadmium batteries, the use of nickel for nuclear fusion would be completely and totally trivial and the least of any worries such devices might have. Why is this worth talking about? Do you have any idea how much nickel we use now?
