Fusion is not the cure-all that most people think it is. The 4 proton reaction (or 4 hydrogen atoms going to helium) has an effective ignition temperature way too high to be achieved by current technology. The deuturium-tritium reaction is one of the easiest to achieve, but it can create a 17 MEV neutron. Hardly, a case of radiation-free nuclear power.
I am amazed at how these discussions that start out on one subject digress into solving the world's problems. Why not start another thread on solving the problems of over-population, protecting the environment, etc. Why should we even consider launching model rockets when so many world problems need to be solved?
