Can you hold your breath for 5-10 years? That is about about how far away we are from nuclear waste free p + B-11 inertial electrostatic confinement fusion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Bussard http://www.askmar.com/Fusion.html It is clear to me that Bussard is the most important man on the planet at the moment. Anyone got $200 million for him to build a full size prototype? Do yourself (and the rest of us) a favour and check out his research. ps. with low cost energy you can make ethanol from low value sugar cane for 35c / litre. (if you are stuck on combustion, :-P)
