BOSTON (Epic). Heavy metal's big bust-out band of the year, these five rockers from Beantown stir up a sonic maelstrom in a flashy fusion of acoustic and electronic sounds...
...balls have reached the critical level of 20 million degrees F., hot enough to cause fusion−the awesome process that occurs in a detonating hydrogen bomb...
...fusion of hydrogen to form helium marks the beginning of a long and stable period in the evolution of the star−a combination of adolescence and middle age that constitutes 99% of the lifespan of a sun-size star. During this period, the tremendous energy radiating from the star's center neutralizes its gravitational force, and the great glowing orb shrinks no further. But as it must to all stars, death eventually comes. How long a star lives depends on its mass. Generally, the more massive a star is, the shorter its life is. Stars with a mass...
...University of Florida at Gainesville. "Therefore we must learn to convert solar energy into every kind of energy we use in our daily lives." Nuclear-power proponents would disagree with Farber's philosophy, but concerns over safety and rising costs have slowed the rush toward fission power. Nuclear fusion plants, which promise virtually unlimited power, are probably decades away from becoming a reality...

The President is also calling for programs to increase the use of coal, to harness "the unlimited potential of solar energy and fusion power," and to facilitate the construction of nuclear-power plants. He is generally opposed, however, to mandatory energy conservation measures...
