Lighting the way

I just loved Jon Kudelka’s cartoon of the woman at one bowser longing for a “source of energy less susceptible to the vagaries of geopolitical instability” and the man at the other commenting “Crazy talk” (February 26– March 4). The scene is illuminated by a giant nuclear fusion reactor 148 million kilometres away that will “energise” Earth for the next

7.5 billion years. It is the best advertisement for solar energy I’ve seen for years.
