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 Some 50 years ago I attended a public presentation by someone promoting fusion as the future of electric power; I had just read an article stating it could be a century before fusion power becomes a reality. By that measure, we're half-way there. Hoping for a clean, bright future (soon!) and best wishes to you!
