Thank goodness they're still working on it. Nuclear fusion rules.

    Fusion rules alright, but ITER is the wrong answer. Fusion 30+ years away is too long. The money and effort would be much better put into inertial electrostatic confinement. Dr Robert Bussard claims he is 5 years away from a commercial reactor, using Boron 11, which would have no radioactive waste at all, unlike ITER, where the chamber becomes highly radioactive.

    Fusion is the future, but ITER is not. Check out Dr Bussard's Google Tech Talk here.



    And check out discussion on slashdot



    Or check out the Focus Fusion project, engaged in a similar attempt.

Screw Greenpeace and screw hybrids. They only convert air pollution into ground pollution. Fusion reactors rule. I have canines and eat animals. E85 puts out twice as many hydrocarbons as gas, and cars get less fuel economy with e85 compared with their gas counterparts. Tesla's new roadster (electric) and Caparo's new T1 (lightweight cost effective exotic materials demonstrator and future king of supercars) are the types of cars we should be driving. Lightweight, fast, aerodynamic, yet still get really good mileage, and able to withstand 200mph crashes (The Caparo). 51% of all automibiles on the road today are trucks, and this has got to change. Stop driving trucks (they aren't fun to drive anyway), stop making large heavy cars for fat people, as punishment for them being fat, because studies show that cars with fat people in them get worse gas mileage then the same car with me in it.
