I agree. Plus, cold fusion might produce tritium or other radioactive products, so it may actually have some problems with safety and disposal. On the other hand, Axil has a point when he says the public is frighted by nuclear power, and the association will be a problem. Someone responded to my essay with this comment: "All technology is destructive of natural resources. An overwhelming amount of radio-active material would come into existence long before one of your fission power stations could be brought on line." This person did not read the essay carefully and does not understand the difference between fission and fusion. Anyway, we will have to deal with people like him, who react in this fashion. - Jed
