Nice try but polywell fusion got a huge boost of funding under Obama compared to Bush.
And solar can be a serious energy source IF more money flowed into research instead of feel good large projects.
Edit: BTW I can hardly believe you are touting oil here. Our dependence on foreign sources can not be slowed by domestic projects that take over a decade to online. And even then we will never generate enough to fuel the current economy much less grow it. Coal is a possibility but the "clean coal" movement is full of so much lies and misinfo that I refuse to support it. And seeing that they are running to repukes instead of investing in more projects to clean and make it even better. (I will fully admit tho that burning coal and transporting it to an electric motor is many time cleaner than burning gas) that is unlikely to change.
Fusion is going along well actually. ITER is not but ITER is a political POS that is being built to make jobs and feel good speeches instead of the efforts surrounding the polywell and others such as focus fusion.
