Aneutronic fusion would be a lot cleaner than most current fusion reactor designs.

I think it's some very worthy research. My concern with all these potential "save the world" technologies is that we already know what we have to do to save the world and we already have the technologies to do it.

The first thing we have to do is quit fossil fuels. No technology is going to magically displace fossil fuels; not fission, not fusion, not solar, or anything else.
