All the more reason for industry diversification in Alberta. I'm sure we're all aware it's not a matter of if but when the oil economy dries up / dies out. On the flip side, we might be well placed to be a hub for fusion energy development - "oil" companies have their hands in other areas of energy as well. Suncor for example is invested in wind energy, and is not simply oil exclusive.
The application for water desalinization is the most exciting part of fusion energy for me though. The ability to do this can raise the standard of living for every corner of the earth, and really help the poverty numbers in afflicted areas of the world. Water is the core foundation of our existence.
