We've heard this before. "In 1954, Lewis Strauss, the Chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, promised a future of energy that would be 'too cheap to meter.'”
Consider the source. America's civilian nuclear technology cost a total of a trillion federal dollars yet delivers less energy than wood. The Economist says of nuclear power plants that “not one, anywhere in the world, makes commercial sense.” Hot fusion research has received billions of dollars of Government money for over 50 years, AND HAS YET TO PUT A SINGLE WATT OF POWER INTO THE GRID. There are tons of myths floating about, most perpetrated by pols and their minions. The above is a classic example. After all, what do they care. It isn't their money building these Roads to Nowhere
