Reply To: Fusion wont change the environment.

Akhenaten: Looks like we strayed off topic. Your original claim that practical fusion energy would not be helpful to the world somehow got diverted to the much falsely maligned DDT. Again I refer you to the great effort of Dr. Zubrin, both on YouTube, and more comprehensively in his book, “Merchants of Venom”. The main point being technological advances, especially in the all critical area of cheap abundant energy, have allowed a human population to continuously expand while human living standards expand simultaneously. Focus Fusion holds the great promise, perhaps in less than ten years, of being a giant leap forward in human living standards and quality of life. And as an aside, if I may be permitted, Dr. Zubrin’s greatest claim to fame is in his advocacy for and direct research and development of the human Mars mission. Besides cheap abundant energy here on earth, Focus Fusion may well be a viable energy source for a Mars mission. It may be possible with Focus Fusion to reduce the flight time of such a mission from the current six months with chemical rockets, to less than a month. So let’s cheer on the entrepreneur scientists of this Focus Fusion project. I’m here on this board to I hope to have a front row seat in the making of history. Godspeed to our Focus Fusion Pioneers!
