There's a slice of hope

 

The one way that the human race might avert dire consequences to the health of the planet and the fate of humanity (which are obviously linked together) is lots and lots and lots of energy.

Since nuclear fission reactors still face an uphill battle, even though reproducible modularity is the way to go and might be the way things are going, the dream of energy salvation is nuclear fusion.

And a news report from last week indicated that maybe, just maybe, that dream is a little closer to reality.


Korea's Fusion Reactor Ran 7 Times Hotter Than The Sun For Almost 30 Seconds

"Despite all the work that lies ahead in getting these reactors to produce more energy than they consume, progress has been encouraging. By 2025, the engineers at KSTAR want to have exceeded the 100 million-degree mark for a period of 300 seconds."
