Last year, the environmental and energy crisis was brought to an end when Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved the first fusion ignition in a laboratory, a result that followed 60 years of research.
What is nuclear fusion technology?
Principle: Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form one heavy atomic nucleus, releasing a huge amount of energy. This technology does not produce radioactivity and is a safe energy source that cannot be turned into weapons .
Future outlook: The first fusion power plant is expected to be operational within the next 10 years, and hundreds of plants are expected to be in operation within 20 years. This will be a major turning point that will allow us to replace coal and oil power plants.
Why is this my first time hearing this?
Limitations of the news industry: Despite the importance of the news, the news industry tends to focus on sensational and emotional events, which means these major developments are not covered enough.
Alternatives to information acquisition: The author argues that instead of news, you can gain a better understanding of the world by reading books or long-form journalism. For example, you can understand the importance of nuclear fusion energy by reading an in-depth interview with Rex Friedman.
Look at this awesome ballerina!
