Abstract

Energy Secretary Watkins began preparation of a national energy strategy with a meeting on January 11, 1990, in Honolulu. Two witnesses presented testimony on fusion: Harold Forsen (Bechtel Group, Inc.) and Akira Hasegawa (Bell Telephone Labs) [62, 63].

Abandon Certainty! That’s life’s deepest command.

That’s what life is all about. We’re a probe into the unknown, into the uncertain.

–Frank Herbert Author, Children of Dune
