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
Nuclear fusion is a black hole for money and energy - iNSnet

Nuclear fusion will not contribute to solving the current climate and energy crisis, or any time soon. So we better stop it.

Good article, and it confirms concerns Iโ€™m aware of. My only beef is the presentation of an either-or fallacy when we are perfectly capable of doing both. The โ€œfar-flungโ€ future will forever remain that unless we work on it now.
@swhunter7 @georgetakei Indeed, not "either-or" - but a temporary stop of non-priority excessive energy-consuming practices will hardly harm science in the long run, and help solve our problems right now.
