Energy and Income
Jim Trow, our new technical spokesperson, draws our attention to gapminder.org. This software enables us to create a graph that shows the stark connection between energy consumption and poverty.
Transition
Focus Fusion, if proven to work, is a transformative technology.
If the Plasma Focus device works as theorized, it means that, within a decade, cheap power stations will be popping up all over the world, completely transforming the energy, resource, economic and political dynamics that we are currently operating under.
This section looks at ways to facilitate the transition to fusion world, to make it as universally beneficial as possible.

FAQS
Are Renewables in Competition with Focus Fusion?
If Focus Fusion is successful, will it mean that all the investment of time, energy, passion and money that has gone into traditional renewables is wasted? If we can get unlimited energy for a song, will all those solar energy companies go bankrupt? Is this a win/lose proposition?
LPP Receives Major Investments
After a 7-year hiatus in our experimental work, LPP is back on track to test the feasibility of Focus Fusion!
Transitions in Housing
“Contour Crafting” is a very innovative technology in development which promises to provide low cost, unique, tailor-made housing for everyone and change the construction industry in fundamental ways. If this works, like Focus Fusion, it will have a number of transition hurdles to face.
Teddy Roosevelt
TR is known to have said:
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The next best thing you can do is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
Light Bulb Transition Screw-up
How many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb? And why do we have to screw it in anyway? There’s no compelling engineering reason for the screw-in design. It’s a vestigial quirk that rose out of the transition from gas light to electric light.
Transition to Hybrid Cars
Transitions don’t happen over night. When you compare total energy costs of hummers to hybrid cars today, as Art Spinella from CNW Marketing Research did, you find that the hybrids cost twice as much per mile driven. Hummer drivers rejoiced at this news, because they didn’t listen to the rest of the analysis.
Heat and Thermal Pollution
What is heat pollution, what causes it and what are the dangers? How does Focus Fusion change the equation?
The Energy Industry
Here are some thoughts on the transition for the Energy industry. As you can see, we need to think this through a lot more to come up with some practical policies, strategies, suggestions.
