Energy consumption itself does not damage the environment.  The damage comes from extracting that energy from natural resources, processing it into something consumable, and burning it off/leaving waste behind.  Focus fusion would provide an energy supply without these negative environmental impacts - pure, clean energy.

There’s a pun in here about “poisson” and “fission”, except we’re not promoting fission.  We’re for focus fusion.  So, apparently, is Jesus.

In which we explore the relationship between energy and poverty.

Today, the vast majority of energy is produced the same way it was at the end of the 19th century, by burning fossil fuels. We owe a great deal to these fossil fuels as they have have launched humanity into an unprecedented era of prosperity. However, this power source was not enough to propel everyone into prosperity. We’re literally “running out of gas” while billions of people still remain trapped in poverty.

The Energy Crisis*
*and the fusion footnote

According to many sources, the world today is caught in an escalating energy crisis. The crisis has profound economic, political and environmental impacts, which are steadily getting worse. But there is something missing from the old “Energy Crisis” equation, and that is Focus Fusion.

An additional benefit of focus fusion is that it can be used for distributed generation. Distributed generation is the idea that electricity should be generated close to where it is used. This has many benefits including reducing the risk of widespread blackouts. The majority of a community’s power could be generated in the community instead of being transmitted hundreds of miles from distant power plants. This would prevent distant equipment failures from affecting the community’s power supply.
