are only ones where fuel comes to you. Does not require mining, drilling and refining/enrichment.

Nuclear is too expensive and too slow to build, and I am still waiting for an explanation as to who will watch (and pay for) waste storage for multiple times the existence of human civilization.

I am using fusion power right now. It is delivered over 93 million miles in 8 minutes. Yesterday it generated 80kWh at my house, powering my home and my car, with the excess being used by my neighbors.
