  • the more i follow the debates about the energy issue and the different solutions that are offered

    the more obvious it seems that nuclear fusion is the only way to go

    how else could we possibly have a sustainable source of energy for our growing world population and alleviate international poverty in the process?

  • Nature does nuclear fusion from water: What the hell are you doing?

  • i'm thoroughly enjoying the documentary and this is not my way of knocking it but

    it seems to me that the argument used in this part is a bit weak

    yes, science helps us discover the problems so that we can solve them

    but we wouldn't have these problems if we hadn't used science to create their causes (the air con, fridges, styrofoam, etc) to begin with
