And aside from existing hydroelectric facilities, there's darned little research and development going on anywhere in the world simply because none of the alternatives becomes cost effective until the current prices for oil, gas and coal rise to unbearable levels.

Fusion research is proceeding at a feverish pace. Here's a short list of where.
