Hugely important. A way to go, but fusion (in effect how the sun releases energy) is far safer and efficient than a fission reaction. Makes everything else redundant.

Those of a conspiratorial persuasion will see that as a problem. Lots of money to be made but I imagine lots to be lost too not just in oil and gas but in renewables. Long way off yet I know

I'm sure this is the future, but I suspect we'll all be pushing up the daisies by the time this is anywhere near commercial.
Can you imagine the people of the future talking about us and laughing "yes, it's true, they used to have big metal stoves in their house burning WOOD!!!".

I wouldn't have thought so no. However it does give me hope that we may actually be leaving a world to our children and grandchildren that isn't f**ked beyond all repair. Then again, I'm probably a naive optimist...
