Amen,
I think me and most Slashdot readers canceled their AOL accounts over a decade ago, if they will even admit they had one.
We could have a lot of fun bashing AOL in these posts but let's just be real for a second and get on with our lives.
Although I have to admit there is some comic relief in this latest move.
AOL is done "just stick a fork in it"
A strong commitment to developing fUsion not FIssion would be a great leap forward.
Know the differences!!!
Fusion = No long term radio active waste
Fission = Radioactive waste & possible creation of materials for Atom weapons
or just remember
Fusion "Good
Fission "Bad"
Thermonuclear fusion really needs a new name, anytime any bumkin hears "nuclear" whatever they immeadiately think "Three Mile Island" and cancerous mutation and painful death. Can we start calling fusion "Solar Combustion" or something without nuclear related to it?

Selling contained Fusion reactors which generate large amounts energy would be good for the US economy (or any country's economy bold enough to make portable fusion reactors). Not to mention I'd like one in my neighborhood or basement too.
What's it going to take? High cost of oil (We are getting there) well... possibly just getting really pissed off with idiots who control the oil supply (I think we are there too) a little psychology (informing Joe 6-pack that fusion will not create a 3 mile island event) funding (oh maybe one tenth of what we spend on oil in a year) and significant brainpower to unlock the mystery of our Sun's energy process.
