Humans can be fallible, violence prone, dangerous to themselves, other species and the world, true.
But humans can also cooperate, achieve amazing feats, and even save the planet from devastation.
I considered this when I heard that 70 years after the first use of atomic fusion, humans have achieved *ignition* at the Lawrence Livermore Lab. That means more energy was produced from a fusion reaction than was used to power it. We have a long way to go, but this is a huge milestone! #Hope #Fusion
@georgetakei Too bad the coal industry will smear it as dangerous and pay politicians to never implement it, just like what's happened with nuclear, despite it producing less radiation and no carbon compared to coal.
@MonicaDePaul @georgetakei The old nuke plants aren't designed for whats here as abrupt climate change accelerates.
@JackWolf @georgetakei ...so then we should be building newer, safer nuclear plants in addition to solar and wind.
