Now for some good news: The second most expensive international research project in the world (I guess you have to disregard all the Black Ops US Defence projects in this contest) is stable fusion power generation. The scientists hope to have it working by 2050-60 - and scientists are never wrong with theories as you know
. If it works then there will be enough energy to sustain ten billion people at a Western energy consumption level per citizen for 5,000,000,000 years and by then the Earth has been swallowed by the sun (helium has a far smaller density than hydrogen). So, no worries lads, you'll get that job sooner or later and 40 years is no time to wait for this nice job
