Fusion would create a whole new industry which means lots of jobs. Not to mention that there will still be a hell of a lot of cars needing gas. And what civilized government doesn't want to see the mid-east's stranglehold evaporate!!

who said they were? if our universe has a background 3D matrix/lattice its likely that all the sub particles of an atom are maintained in their relative positions by the holes in that matrix which leads me to suggest the possibility that the atom is held by its parts in a cubic section of that matix and one would have to allow for the combing of multiple sections of the matrix to acheive the next largest cube in fact to acheive a combined fusion it would take a minimum of 8 atoms to form the next size cube. Therefore I would suggest that the sun's process is far more involved than current envisaged.
If you consider this is not possible the screen you are cuurently looking at is a matrix in which many shapes can be represented.

..why Arata's cold fusion few dollars experiments weren't verified already? Because the governments and energetic lobby isn't interested into development of distributed sources of energy?
