Re: Global warming 'past the point of no return'

I went to the Culham Laboratory on Oxfordshire last night. This is the place where they do research into nuclear fusion reactors, which are able to create endless supplies of electricity from water. Apparently there is enough fusion energy in a litre of water to keep one person in electricity for 7 years. That is the same as burning 147 tons of coal.

Maybe this is our saving technology.

And it's almost pollution free. The only pollutants include a very small amount of low level radioactive waste. The other by-products are lithium and helium.

Here is a link if you are interested:http://www.fusion.org.uk/
