Many activists and politicians who say greenhouse gases pose an existential crisis to earthlings oppose the relatively quick and easy fix of building more nuclear power plants. Maybe the third way is a massive investment in fusion power, which Glen Wurden at the Los Alamos National Laboratory
says he could bring on line immediately -- if:
