Well, they suggested fuzing gazoline, not me.

But fission power is already here

Asterisk. A big one. There is no real life prototypes of energy-positive reactors yet. There are several promising pre-prototypes that are almost ready, just need to fix some engineering issues. And it would not be a problem if the whole field wasn't in this state since the sixtieth.

Fission. As in uranium and Thorium.

We've had energy positive fission since the 1950s.
