Fusion, another step closer?

[Trafalgar]

As someone who lives in Tennessee I know plenty of people who would rather have had Fukishima happen in their back yard then the Kingston plants ash spill. The actually very rare occasion that nuclear power has an issue like that can be bad but fossil fuels can be even worse long term and harder to clean up.

If you are from Tennessee, you should be familiar with Oak Ridge National Laboratory. I seem to recall reading that it was in the center of a pretty significant cancer cluster and has had a series of nasty releases over the years.
