The energy released by fusion is three to four times greater than the energy released by fission.
Fusion>Fission.... everyone know this. Of course proper mechanisms to controlling fusion reactions needs to be developed.

Interesting I remember reading Time Life books and Popular science mags some 40 years ago that said Fusion is 10 years away. They also said biological computers, forgot what they called them, were not far off.
When someone says it is 10 years away in journalism, that means only if it actually works, and if we give it unlimited money, and we get people who know how to bring products to market rather than some inventor who's sole life purpose is to tweak his baby project.Interesting I remember reading Time Life books and Popular science mags some 40 years ago that said Fusion is 10 years away.

Yes, yes we do.Do you want radioactive mutant sharks? Because that is how we get radioactive mutant sharks.
I'm sure if we did and got it inplemented as a utility world wide then someone would come and blow up all of those fusion plants just to blame Dr. Manhattan.If only we put real money into fusion research.
If so, why?

Definitely use a molten salt reactor. Here is Bruce Hoglund explaining in great detail. Do NOT skip to 50:38.
Neither. You cover the sharks with tiny turbines that spin as they pass through the water, they power generators and the sharks swimming motion charges the lasers. Hydroelectric shark lasers, for a greener tomorrow.
While I appreciate your environmentally friendly approach I would be concerned about recharge time. My enemies are numerous so I'm going to need those lasers to fire quickly and often. Once they're dead their carbon footprint drops off pretty quickly so I think that still might be a better option in the end anyway
If you have that many enemies you need to re-evaluate your lifestyle and resort to SoMD.
