"Fast Ignition" Inertial Confinement Fusion, which will use extremely large lasers to trigger fusion in small pellets of deuterium/tritium fuel (these are two isotopes of hydrogen). US scientists are approaching "proof of principle" in the next 2 years and the international HiPER project is now planning a demonstration reactor to transform the theorem from basic proof itno a technology which will deliver electricity at levels to meet future needs. Try Googling HiPER-Laser... and watch the 14-minute film on their web site. It's a good movie and you will learn a lot !

Love your blog. I am always looking for new info that I can create Great BS with for my SFR. *G* Danger Gal is cool. Lisa, what a great article. Love your blog.

Only this morning I was talking to someone about nuclear fusion, which is a subject that comes up in conversation about once a year, if that. If more money and time was put into researching it, it could be a wonderful source of energy supply, and be a replacement for nuclear fission. This is spooky!

No wonder you said your head was gonna explode. I couldn't get past the first two bullets without my brain imploding. Good lord, woman. No wonder you said your head was gonna explode.

According to Wikipedia, "[I]ron and nickel nuclei have the largest binding energies per nucleon of all nuclei." Binding energy is the amount of energy required to keep nuclei together.
