Seriously, Canada is involved in ITER. Not to the extent I personally would prefer, but involved.
Still, wanting it does not make it possible. Nor cheap. Socks

They're still crowing over keeping experimental fusion going for mere milliseconds FFS !

for some 'mysterious' reason no serious efforts are invested in fusion. while it is the mightiest energy resource!! had the proper money invested in it long ago we could already use it 2 of course ITER is dead by arrival and it was worse than not even starting it because it is not even in the right direction and a huge waist of money and worse- waist of precious time .
fusion will be dont efficiently mainly by **acceleration** and not just **blind** compression!!

not by any tokamak system 2 i know it should be done based on acceleration actually counter accceleration so that is why i suggest LHC to start getting into it 3 itneed some betetr knowledge about the the raw material particles 4 i think i know some missing knowledge better than anyone else 5 yet there will be no public spoon feeding from me 6 anyway a counter collision between say D and T might be a good start and i dont see any problem to do it by that LHC (but only a start (:-)

This is something we can do right now. We have the technology, products and manpower to reduce our energy consumption by 80% or more but do we have the will?
We could do this in the next decade if we as a society set it as a goal. Energy management is something we can do verses fusion which we only think we can do but do not know when. It is like hydrogen that we’ve been promised in the next decade, this was about 30 years ago and we are still far from being practical.
Doing with less is not doing without. The homes we retrofit save 40-60% of their heating and cooling bill and the occupants are more comfortable than they have ever been in the house. In new construction getting 70-80% reduction is easy and with some off the shelf products we can get the other 20-30%. And if our manufactures would make the electrical consuming devices more efficient (this is something we already know how to do) the 20-30% would be real easy.
So let’s see, do we put our effort into something we already know how to do or into something that someone thinks will work? And no I’m not saying we should not explore fusion just not until we get the low hanging fruit of energy reduction.
KISS (keep it simple stupid)

At one time the US was such a large fraction of the oil market the US could significantly influence prices.

" He notes that, importantly the Flextreme will achieve the European standard for plug-ins of < 40 g CO2 production per kM driven.
He also point out that E-Flex is not a "research project" but a real production program, and that there are already over 150 engineers assigned to the E-Flex program."
That's easily 4 times less emissions than an fairly average small Euro car, so probably better than 6 times better than your Yank Tanks.
All we need now is enough of these ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Pressurized_Reactor

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Astra
"The Opel Astra is a small family car designed and manufactured by Opel, the European subsidiary of General Motors.
It is branded as an Opel in continental Europe, the Republic of Ireland, the Middle East, North Africa, and South Africa, as Vauxhall in the United Kingdom, as Holden in Australasia, and as Chevrolet in Latin America. In Russia, it is sold as both an Opel and Chevrolet. Starting with the 2008 model year, the vehicle is exported to the United States and Canada, where it is sold as a Saturn. "
The Aura is manufactured in the USA but I suggest you compre it with the Vectra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2007-Saturn-Aura-XR.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Opel_Vectra_front_20070926.jpg

To be perfectly honest with you, it's the combination of the selling price and the materials used in the construction of its body. For American buyers, the use of very corrosion materials in the body is very important to us, particularly to us living the the colder regions of the US. Engine performance, top speed, and other considerations in comparison to if the car will turn into a rusted out piece of crap within 8-10 years.
I will give Europe one credit, they have translated the advertising of automobiles into a competition of what fancy accessories the car has and it contemporary styling. American car advertising says very little about an autombile's basic transportation capacity, or what the expected life time of the engine an power train is, the expected body life in a North American driving environment, or anything once considered basic to automobiles.
Here, as initial;y promoted in Europe, style and appearance mean everything in automobile marketing. It seems to me that this of French origin, and the message sent to the younger members of American society is that unless you drive in the latest and most stylish automobile, you won't be able to meet hot girls! I'm not joking here. Car marketing in the US today has nothing to due with the durability, fuel efficiency, or performance of the automobile. It's all about sex! :-)
Trust me, at my age, what car I drive will in no way enhance or dimish my sex life, but at 25, you view it as very important. After passing the age of 50, the business card and the suit that you wear makes a far greater contribution to the quality of your sex life than do your wheels. Please don't ask me how I learned this, (Lol)

Take a good look: http://europe.theoildrum.com/node/4188
This is a problem the whole world faces. Europe too.
http://www.financeweek.co.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=5939&d=11&h=24&f=254 "the average total debt-to-GDP bratio to around 250% across the OECD, rising above 400% in Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain."
The roaring twenties in the U.S. ended with total D2GDP at these levels. So, it is not just that resources are becoming limited or D2GDP is off the scale. It is that both are occurring at the same time.

That's down to Opel and their masters at GM. They hope to introduce it IIRC in 2011-2012. And Chevy's Volt about the same time.
Interestingly the Opel Has better fuel efficiency because of (a) the body styling (sedans have lousy coefficients of drag) and (b) the use of a diesel for the ICE.
> In the mean time, you will hope that Putin stays a nice guy. He's not the only guy in the business, besides he's no longer the big boss and the new one is much more Euro-friendly. With Ukraine already in the motions of EU membership application, don't expect Russia to want to be left out in the cold.

Besides we buy cheap nuclear electricity from France. As have the Italians been doing 'on the sly' for ages too. In fact Italy agreed to pay for a new nuke as long as it was on French soil before the more recent announcement.
Areva and EDF are going to become very rich companies.

And we're not the only critics of the farce either.

Maybe you're getting a glimmer of how Americans feel about being told they should be more European.

At the time I was complating the purchase a new BMW, since at the time I was driving a rusty 1986 Cadillac Cimarron (and still am until fuel prices go back down). That's likely the best decision that I have ever made in my entire life. My second best turned out to be investing in Microsoft, during the days back when Bill Gates was still sitting a table with folding legs, selling Microsoft Basic on cassettes packaged in little plastic food storage bags that included a one page set of instructions. That was at a computer geek-fest in Boston circa 1982, and I invested about $2k as simply a lark. Strange how some times things turn out well. (Fortunately I retained the orginal stock certificates deep down in a drawer of my desk, thinking some day they may be valuable as at least historic collectables.)
I've made bad investments to, like purchasing Xerox in 1979. Sold it in 1990 for a net profit of $1.15 a share. I am definitely not someone who you should turn to for investment advice. :-)
