The threshold energy for fusion to occur is very high..you have to force the atomic nuclei together, ain't gonna happen at room temperature. Hot fusion involves plasma so "hot" that atoms are ripped apart.

I definitely don't know this, so it's just a straight-up questiongiven the "issue" with fission is that the reaction becomes a chain until it runs out of fuel, and the fusion could do the same, how is fusion safer? I get that you could control the fuel feed in a fusion system which you obviously can't in a fission one because of the whole critical mass thing, but theoretically anything smaller than iron can fuse and release energy. If we build a fucking big one, isn't there a risk assoicated with things other than the fuel fusing? and what if a fuel supply cutoff fails?

Fusion doesn't chain reaction in the same way.You need to keep the pressure and temperature incredibly high to make teh reaction happen. When it does you end up with a net increase in energy, but if it goes tits up and say your reacion chamber broke, there would be an instantaneous drop in pressure. Now there might be a big fire, but the reaction would stop straight away and therfore not continue fusing.
Plus, the product of fusion is helium, so rather than blowing highly radioactive shit everywhere, you have a bit of a fire and everyone talking in squeaky voices. No harm no foul.

There is a risk, it could explode and kill all the people in the factorybut what it won't do, what it physically cannot do, is keep burning and reacting and melting the core so it sinks through the Earth's crust, all the while spewing out deadly toxins and irradiating a wide area around the plant, and some of Wales.
So from that point of view, it's immeasurably safer.

They should just install one of the those spinny things above a volcanoI've seen them as christmas decorations and a candle makes it spin really fast, so a volcano would be fucking epic, just attach the spinny thing to a dynamo and BAM, instant free electricity. No wucking furries.

again, you're almost talking sense heresome people have a vaguely similar set up, whereby a pipe drilled down very very deep heats their water for them and is pumped back up to heat their home
crazy eh?

It's very easy to doprovided you live above somewhere with a lot of groundwater. It won't make electricity but it will easily warm your home.

Free porn is the best.Mummy porn is shockingly bad.
We should have more hydroelectricity. The Severn Bore would be a good start, and there must be loads of potential for water power in Scotland. And wind power.
Doesn't Norway have something like 90% sustainable power?

Who is Emanuelle?Soft Core,
I don't think i can really be bothered, my bills aren't extortionate, and although i keep being told I can save £100 a year by switching, I'd feel kinda guilty, as the people I'm with came and fitted free insulation for us in the new house, and moved our gas spur for no cost during the renovation, and don't mind if i ring them and say "can't pay this month, mind if it waits a couple of weeks?" and they alwat say that it's fine. I don't if i would get that service somewhere else, so until i can't afford to eat due to my heating bill, fuck it.
