OK. I’ve been riding the global warming wave, and over the course of posting to various weblogs that remark on it, my message has been streamlined a bit to this:

What strikes me as ironic is that both left and right overlook viable fusion alternatives in their discussion of global warming/energy/oil. [or other lead in sentence related to the blog I am posting to. This one was remarking on the irony of George Bush’s compound being vulnerable to sea level changes with global warming]

Fusion is closer than most people think.

The Focus Fusion Society is dedicated to developing fusion energy, ASAP, by advocating a systematic approach to exploring fusion alternatives, and supporting that research itself for the focus fusion approach.

We’re not talking about cold fusion or fission. We’re not talking about conventional tokamak fusion (the ITER project) – which isn’t expected to work for another 50 years. (Please read up on Conventional vs. Focus Fusion – the differences are substantial) Yet all US research money in fusion, limited as it is, goes into the one ITER project only. A grossly ineffective strategy, like funding one lone hospital program to find a cure for cancer.

Fusion alternatives need to become a big deal with the general public, politicians, etc. We want to change the current apathy. We want people to demand their fusion. We want to see a “fusion race”. We’ve been lobbying the X-prize foundation to put up a “Fusion X-Prize“.

Help us advocate for this issue.

Fusion. Why are we waiting?

Still needs work. The goal is to find the key message, and to stay on message and then use repetition to drill it into the public consciousness. Any suggestions?
