That said, aneutronic fusion is surely the holy grail of energy production.
Chernobyl and Fukushima were not terrible at all. No people have died from radiation at Fukishima, and at most, 50 have died from radiation at Chernobyl. Fission should be the holy grail of energy production if people actually knew what radiation was. There are a lot more people who die because of a fear of radiation rather than radiation itself. If you get rid of the unnecessary regulations of fission power, fission would be even cheaper than hydroelectric and still be extremely safe.
