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!

You have falsely assumed that the human race will progress forever without any checks or balances occurring in our rapid population expansion. The Western countries have used slave labour from 3rd world countries to produce the bulk of their luxury items. This parasitic existence can’t continue forever and their will be a price to pay soon. The ruling classes must ignore all the warning signs of imminent disaster because the industrial machine must appear to be invincible and forward moving. Thus, books like “Merchants of Venom” will be hailed of prophetic masterpieces.

I have provided clear evidence that DDT is a dangerous chemical which can kill both insects and humans. To ignore this fact is just plain stupid.

“The great leap forward” sounds like some propaganda out of a communist Russia or China?

Note – Communist countries always promise a rosy future and a grim present. That’s the communist lie.
