Robert Bussard, 1928-2007
“the survival of our high-tech civilizations depends on getting off of fossil fuels ASAP, and — if we do not — we will descend into a growing series of ‘oil wars’ and energy confrontations that can lead only to a huge cataclysm. Which CAN be circumvented if only we build the clean fusion machines in our time.”
...But, he conceded, the political reality is that oil companies have no interest in supporting fusion research. “There is only one thing the oil companies want, and that is to sell oil, and more oil,” he said.
“The only way to stop oil, from their view, is when it does run out. And then they’ll go for deeper drilling, new fields, Gulf geopressure gas, LNG, etc. etc., and keep raising the price, until finally foolish solar and windmills become competitive,"
