This is the biggest news on the planet right now, although I understand how most folks don't think so yet. But it has the potential to be literally world changing.

@scalzi Part of the reason is that mainstream science #journalism is so freaking awful. The other part is that people genuinely don't understand how energy works. (Feynman spoke of how horrified he was about the way energy was presented in grade school textbooks.)

This will be bigger news in 35 years when the tech scales. Sorry I likely won't be here to see that!
