The reason I brought up my 95 year old father-in-law was to point out to you that if a person lives a slightly longer than average life, large disruptive changes occur repeatedly during a single lifetime. No one knows if controlled fusion will happen in our lifetimes (how's your health?). Some of the things we thought we'd be doing in 2003, 20-30 years ago haven't happened and others we never even thought about are common place. My only point to you, what started this whole thread, was that the continued growth in oil consumption depends on it staying cheap. Any rise in price will result in lower consumption and increased implementation of more efficient technology. We proved that in the late 70s and 80s. What is driving fusion research isn't the price of oil or even environmental concerns (although I'm sure their grant applications pay lip service to that). The real goal is quantity of energy.
