[cdn-nucl-l] Fusion: Energy of the 'forseeable' future

[Adam Gordon McLean <mclean@ecf.utoronto.ca>]

Contrary to the aura surrounding fusion research, it is my hope that
fusion will not always be the energy of the future.  Since the 1970's,
fusion devices have shown exponential increases in fusion power produced. 
Take a look at:

Slogan once seen on a tee-shirt

"Fusion is the energy of the future and it always will be."

It is, however, a great way to keep scientists busy.
