Energy Alternatives

I too like the fusion power. But doing the math and coming up with the need for about 18 liters of compressed deuterium to supply a reactor for 18 months of full power output, I found the 20 years to be a bit on the high side. That is why I end up with about 3 years in my game. That 18 liters at about 30% duty cycle would last that long and give more internal space for other equipment from the smaller fuel tank. Plus as I postulated in another thread, this makes the tank able to be the size of a scuba tank. In field refueling would be only slightly more complicated than swapping an LP tank.

Also don't forget how big a target gets painted on the team once it is known they have abundant power in that armored car.
