      Hi,

      I think nuclear fission is an incredibly important way for us to meet energy demands, so I think it is good in that respect. Obviously there are worries about accidents and what to do with the nuclear waste and fusion is better in those respects, but we are still in the research phase with fusion. I hope that in your (and my?!) lifetime fusion will overtake fission for energy production.
