Once they figure out how to scale it up the results could be amazing! But, like you said Slick, one step at a time.

Let's hope that one of those doesn't melt down and destroy New York City or something.

Oh, right, New York City is the target of weather disasters. Paris is always the one hit by a big asteroid, right?

Asteroids are unreliable little buggers. They'll strike anywhere. That's why they were kicked out of the natural disasters union. Serves them right.

So if Nuclear energy (well-weapons) spawns Godzilla for 50 years of sci-fi movies, what will fusion energy spawn, eh? Will we get a new movie monster craze, or will Godzilla go to a fusion reaction? Inquiring minds want to know...

I suspect something vauge and derivate in the style of MechaZilla or Mothra.

Sadly as fusion reactors don't detonate and spew radiation everywhere the options are limited.
