Re: Reasonable nuclear policies - written for both anti and pro nuclear positions


Phil, how do you think our prospects for longer term energy consumption fare when considering controlled nuclear fusion using deuterium and tritium. From my shallow reading of various articles on the web, it sounds like fusion is going to be the final answer to pretty much all of our power concerns: longevity, safety (both short term and long term), geographic diversity. Seems that those of us who favor nuclear power over fossil fuels should be pushing for a rapid expansion of the R&D of fusion power reactors over fission.
