   With HOT fusion power, transmutation is economical.  With fusion power that
yields a net power output of 3 Watts, occurring at room temperature, you have
just about as much of a chance of turning something into Platinum as you do of
causing all the air molecules in the room to simultaneously jump one foot to
the left.
   Time to start sending round-trip spacecraft to the asteroid belt, isn't it,
guys?
