Why would we try to use a cleaner fuel like cold fusion, when the waste from Nuclear Fission makes such Great Ammunition.

amateurs worldwide who have achieved nuclear fusion with a home apparatus. In
other words, he built the business end of a hydrogen bomb in his basement. The plasma "star in a jar"—shown at the left—demonstrated his success.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://discovermagazine.com/2007/mar/radioactive-boy-scout">For two years, Olson researched what he would need and
scrounged for parts from eBay and the hardware store. Flanges and piping?
Check. High-voltage X-ray transformer? Check. Pumps, deuterium source, neutron
bubble dosimeter? Check, check, check.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FF2D363E-8459-48A2-A156-61E7971DCDFA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
