Abstract
The author discusses his interest in fusion and his belief that one needs to think about US long-term national energy needs and develop the needed technology to supply them. He encourages people to understand the relationship between US electric energy policies and fusion research and emphasises that policies based on "profits now" harm the US. Topics covered are education needs, restructuring, lack of government competence, fusion research and national power and transmission surveys.
