But research into fusion, anti matter, quarks, etc.

Right... you were talking about "anti matter" when you said...

"The only thing the government should subsidise is research so that industry will know which alternate to use next, and how to plan its phase in."

Can't wait for my anti matter car to bring down energy prices. LOL.

I'm a lover of basic science too Hugh, which has been cut and politically manipulated under the Bushies. Fusion will be here "in twenty years", every twenty years. I would pursue it, more vigorously, but wouldn't bet the farm on it.
