Turning Myth Into Reality

Thomas L. Friedman, The New York Times | March 16, 2009

The debate on renewable energy sources produced many failed ideas and attempts. ++ Hence, the motto that viable fusion energy is “20 years away and always will be.” ++ But the government sponsored National Ignition Faculty with its promise to deliver carbon free electricity creates new hope. ++ Time will tell whether the promise will be delivered, but what’s for sure is that we need to stop fooling ourselves into thinking that “we can 'clean up' coal when our real future depends on birthing new technologies that can replace it.”
