Fusion

The exciting but pointless midweek post.
This has, actually been the most genuinely exciting Wednesday that I have ever had since that week in November when I went on holiday with Sandy and got drunk every day.
It started in the morning when the police stopped me on my bike. I was wheeling my bike down this no-cycling alley, and got stopped by the coppers at the other end. Admittedly, had the rozzers not been there I would have cycled, and the pigs were actually there because they had had complaints about the number of people cycling down the alleyway. Shame on me.
Then work. I had a pretty eventful day at work, but I'm not allowed to say how. Suffice it to say that there were many events, and they were mostly good. That's all that you need to know.
Mainline through Crawley. The Crawley Model Railway, through Goff's Park.
I've just been to a talk on Nuclear Fusion, the power source of the future. We have about 50 years of oil and gas, although that's pretty frakking hard to estimate with any degree of accuracy, and maybe 200 years of coal. Most forms of renewable energy do, in fact, suck, which leaves nuclear. Nuclear fission, in addition to being potentially quite dangerous, isn't a long-term solution anyway: we have maybe 100 years of uranium left, which means it's all gonna be burnt up before coal. So that leaves Fusion. We have about 1000 years of Fusion energy, if only we can get the frikking thing to work.
