Sorry Micko, I was going to post something negative about fission but changed my mind halfway to say something positive about
fusion instead but got confused along the way.
Fission is a backward step, not only historically, but also physically. Fusion of hydrogen into helium is more natural than breathing. It just so happens that it likes to take place in great big stars instead of tiny little planets like the Earth. Fission is nature's recoil after a big violent star-death and still has the smell of death on it.
