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 I find this breathtaking. Why isn’t it getting more play? Can you imagine a day where we no longer need fossil fuels? In my great grandchild’s future?

@PatB47 @georgetakei

Probably because it's a decade of tech or more before we can usefully harness it into power plants.

@VictorZiblis @georgetakei Thank you. Great gran is 3 now. I would like to envision this for him. Thank you for responding.
