If the government is going to fund BIG MONEY . Let it be for viable FUSION REACTORS. You know the future possible where you get more power than you put in. With that you can make all the electric cars you want. No pollution. No danger of a Fukushima catastrophe. You can bury power supplies in the roads. All factories running clean.
.....plus its a great jobs program for at least another 30 years!!!
