http://www.iter.org/ a multi-national project that aims to bring industrial application to the currently experimental nuclear fusion fusion.

45% of its funding comes from the EU and everything else is split evenly among the other countries.
The US, China, Japan and the other High-GDP countries need to contribute a lot more to it. Israel needs to hop in, as well as a bunch of other countries.
This technology is very clean and very safe. the resources needed to fire such a fusion reactor are water (for deuterium) and rocks (we can get tritium from Li-7). the byproduct is helium. should there be an accident (god forbid), the reaction terminates right then and there, so there will be no fallout.
Once this technology is commonplace, the islamic terror machine is finished.

I agree that more work needs to be done to harness the energy of the fusion reaction. It seems that we are very close to understanding it but have not been able to cause it to happen {aside from one experiment by Cornell which was never duplicated}.
It could be an excellent way to power the future without using any oil or coal. And it would be abundantly available.
PS: I am referring to 'Cold-Fusion' which has not been duplicated:

Fusion takes place naturally at the center of the sun since it requires extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. Creating these conditions on earth usually requires more energy than is gained from the reaction, which may explain why the scientific community was stunned by Fleischmann and Pons’ fabulous claim. The two scientists dug in their heels and delivered reason after reason why any failure in the duplication of the experiment was the fault of the other scientists and not of their original experiment.
