Get the difficult things out of the way first. Anyway, I think we are barking up the wrong tree with the fusion idea. Banging nuclei together hard enough to join them is too much a matter of dumb brute strength. We need a more cunning approach. Use the laws of nature to do the job. What we need to do is get the end of a superstring and thread it into a neutrino which will entangle adjacent qwarks and precipitate quantum tunneling to an antimatter realm which starts draining back along the superstring and tips into the reactor and matter [which can be city garbage, sewage or anything] which will immediately combined into nothingness plus a lot of energy E = 2mc2 [m is the mass of the matter reacting with the antimatter], [c being the speed of light in the gravitational field in which the reactor is operating]. CB, Einstein had it wrong with the E = mc2 maths. The energy is actually 2mc2 because he didn't include the mass of the antimatter in his equation and the two are linked through normally quiescent strings of varying lengths. He was not too bright, but he was living in a time when there were no amazing CDMA2000-powered phragmented photons to illuminate cyberspace. He was more like Newton who had an apple bump on his head causing him to run naked down the road shouting "Eureka" at the discovery of gravity. E = 2mc2 is a LOT of energy. Digging up matter on the Moon when we have garbage trucks full of it looking for somewhere to dump it seems nuts. Mqurice PS: I'd point out that AlQaeda might like to buy the rights from me to attack infidels in a much more sophisticated way than with box-cutters and fertilizer bombs, but apparently that would upset the NSA, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security and several people in this stream and they'd waste a lot of time investigating where I've hidden the end of the superstring. They'll have to search baggage at airports now for balls of superstring.
