Hundreds of millions? Hell, we are spending hundreds of millions a DAY in
Iraq to keep our oil flowing. Cold fusion is a dream; hot fusion is
reality. Tens of billions to create a magnetic Klein bottle, and we are
home free for a couple of thousand years.

If we had tossed as much money at taming fusion as we have tossed at

fusion providing the recharge energy.

We tossed hundreds of millions of dollars at it at Oak Ridge alone for at
least 30 years. I don't know much about what's gone on there since my
father died in '89, but they may still be working on cold fusion down in
"reactor row." Last I heard, they still hadn't licked the problem of
plasma containment.
