In the campaign worlds I play, commercial-scale fusion plants are furnishing
the vast majority of electrical power, with solar, geothermal, and the
_occasional_ fossil-fuel plant to precisely trim the supply to the load. At
least in North America, I'm in favor of all fission plants being deactivated.
Now, there was that Shiawase incident on the list a while back; was that
supposed to be a fusion plant or what?

Yeah, I am a little interested as to what AlexandriaN has attempted to buy
as well, but the "nuclear" thing hit one of his search agent's hotlist and
he's in a position to do at least a little speculative buying. Plus, if the
info isn't worth much, it'll go into the seller's file...
