New things to worry about

The Beagletown Bugle considers it our responsibility to alert those masses happily skipping through life, hardly wondering about the consequences of firing 192 mondo lasers that focus 1.4 megajoules on little dabs of deuterium and tritium.

Scientist theorize the resulting nuclear fusion will generate power effortlessly, cleanly, and painlessly in multi-job creating operations that could be in production in a decade. Hell, we won't even need the sun anymore. We can just pop a few megajoules through a glass of water and bam! power the world's eight billion whizbang phones and 100-inch plasma entertainment centers.

According to Newsweek, 10 gallons of water could produce as much energy as a supertanker of oil. And who has all the water? Canada, of course. In 20 years, Canada will own the world.

  1. It's important to remember that past blunders in nuclear fusion were brought to you by a Pons. Namely, Stanley Pons. Personal anecdote side note: it is not easy to be a chemistry student when your name is equated with scientific fraud.
