Summary

"Both global warming and oil shortage can be solved by controlled fusion, a clean power source that will serve mankind for millennia. The idea of hydrogen fusion as well as its difficulties are presented in non-technical language to dispel the notion that fusion is always 50 years away. This book also summarizes the evidence for climate change and explains the principles of both fossil and 'green' energy sources to show that fusion is the best alternative for central-station power in the near term as well as the far future."--P. 4 of cover
