Free your minds.  Oviously this quest for fusion hot cold or inbetween relies on a hydrogen fuel scource.  Where the fuck is the hydrogen going to come from?  The most likely place is fossil fuels.  When they are depleted we will turn to the oceans.  When they are depleted we will all be dead.  Where did the oceans of Mars go?  Why is it that people think the Universe values their lifeform anymore than a plasmoid amoeba floating around in space.  You are naive if you think that fusion won't be controlled by the same assholes that control fission.  You don't even know if fusion isn't driving power plants now.   You don't know what these assholes are capable of.  Tetrawatts of rf heating of the ionosphere for study of the aurora.  They know what the fucking aurora does.  They also know what electromagnetc pulses do at high lattitudes.  Lets see where do we need a blackout today while we manufacture a "natural catastrophy".  Wake the fuckup.

The real question was answered; the Sun is an unlimited source of energy and it powers the Carbon Cycle and that sustains all life on Earth.  Because of this incredible continuous power source and the massively diversified ecosystem you end up with a very robust system of living things that is highly adaptable and can also evolve if environmental conditions change.  All the talk of mankind putting most of the life on Earth in peril unless we find alternative sources of energy soon are not true.  That's the real answer and if you don't like it you can shove it up your ass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_energy_budget

The total rate at which energy enters the Earth's atmosphere is estimated at 174 petawatts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peta_%28prefix%29

Peta- (symbol: P) is a prefix in the metric system denoting 10¹⁵ or 1000000000000000.

So the solar radiation available as a resource to power life on Earth is approximately 174,000,000,000,000,000 watts.

All life on Earth taps into this power source and this power source is going to be around for billions of years.

But you knew all of this and you are just acting willfully stupid for the sake of trying to manufacture conflict.  Just the fact that you want to manufacture conflict is simply stupid and you seem to have some serious problems.

What kind of poor sorry sad sack looks around trying to make other people unhappy because it makes him happy?

Some data to ponder:

Gwandau, Chess:

See those two nice exponential curves, one for global wind generating capacity, and the other for German photovoltaic capacity?   Right now they represent just a small fraction of the world's energy requirements.  Where do you think those curves will be in 50 years from now?

At the same time, how much oil is there left in the world at current and projected rates of consumption?  I am not going to look it up, but I am pretty sure that it's a few hundred years.

The glass is more than half full, even if LENR never comes to fruition.  But let's hope it does.

QuoteGlobal Solar Panels Installed Capacity to Reach 33.4 Thousand Megawatts by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.   GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Solar Panels market.The worldwide installed capacity for solar panels is projected to exceed 33.4 thousand megawatts  by the year 2015. This is primarily driven by the urgent need for an alternative source of energy that is renewable, abundant and at the same time eco-friendly. Perception regarding solar energy is undergoing a sea change, gradually shedding its image as an alternate source of energy, thereby underpinning the technology's strong penetration in both urban and rural communities alike.

no it wasn't... and no, the sun isn't an unlimited source of energy you liar.

that's your opinion... you don't have any proof of your claim.
