I have to agree with drapes on this - we need to start setting up more nuclear plants, as it's the only viable option. So-called 'renewable' sources simply don't have the clout, and will cause more environmental damage than fossil fuels (if fossil fuels are, in fact, causing ANY damage at all).
I suspect the powers that be have been holding back fusion development deliberately, to keep us dependent on middle east oil, as it seems to serve their purposes. So do the (purely political) objections to nuclear power.
