<div>So uh why not just start with fission (breeders) ? Why not also put as much money into matter/anti matter as well as fusion? We can make minute amounts of antimatter in massive collider. I'd think something who's by product are xrays gamma and some other
 stuff with a lot of energy created would be a massive honney pot the department of energy would pursue as well.</div>
<div>I know the answer to fission (sadly) is NIMBY. (yes but it's a lot cleaner and safer than oil and coal I say)

<div>I don't know why we haven't looked at other things as well</div>
