Nuclear Fusion 67 - Japanese Researchers Working On Understanding Of Mixing Of Hydrogen Isotopes In Plasmas
A great deal of money is being poured into research into nuclear fusion as a possible commercial energy source. If the power of the sun can be harnessed, it would mean abundant energy with less pollution, less dangerous waste, less expense, less fuel, etc. that many other power sources.

I have often blogged about the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in south central Washington State. It is one of the most radioactively contaminated sites in the whole world as a result of the use of the site for decades for the development of U.S. nuclear weapons. Government auditors issued a report last Thursday about the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.

Domestic Violence Charges? No Flight For You
Every week, we are so. Very. Tired. of hearing about not only the next woman who was killed by her current or former partner (or a stalker whose interest wasn't returned), but about how he could've been driven to it and what SHE must have done to contribute to her own death, and often the death of their children, too.
