Voted : Yes; if it can help us reduce carbon emissions, I'm for it.
if you don't mind those neutrinos, the fusion reactors (in the future) would be as clean as it can get.

Voted : No; until there's a safe way to store it long-term, it's a dangerous contaminant.
But I still trust in it. I've been as near toa reactor as I am to my laptop right now, for up to eight hours a day for a week, and I suffer no ill effects. I agree entirely, mojo- - it's the waste that needs to be safely dealt with. Back when I was at Annapolis, I sat in on a forum that tried to develop ways to do so. Most of the ideas were dismissed because they weren't cost-effective.
Hey. I never said these were smart people.
If you are talking ending global warming and having energy source that can meet the world's needs, then it's going to be nuclear for the foreseeable future.
mojo, I've been thinking on this, and there's good work being done in cold fusion (though it's still years off, as there's a small problem with exotic particle containment - nothing presently around capable of stopping the radiation, which wouldn't be good for anyone on the planet). This would leave very little waste material, and that itself would be usable as fuel.
