And I don't know much about Picken's plan, but I am sure that the environmentalists and their friends in congress (which numbers way to many) won't let us do anything close to it. |
There is a project for a prototype fusion reactor planned for 2018 in Europe.....but not all of the kinks have been worked out yet and that is the whole point of this reactor. nothing yet has been done for fusion though.
Personally, I would love to get off of the oil bandwagon so that we wouldn't have to buy from the middle east and deal with their terrorism. I mean, we only involve ourselves w/ the middle east b/c of oil, and the arabs react to that like hornets so not buying oil will mean no more 9/11's. Heck, I also want a cheap electric bill too :)
