One of the most majestic technological dreams of modern civilization is creating an unlimited and completely clean source of safe energy.

The vision dates back to 1924, when a British physicist, Sir Arthur Eddington, thought that nuclear fusion was the key to the sun’s power.

In the groundbreaking book entitled “Drawdown, The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed To Reverse Global Warming,” which was published in 2017, and edited by Paul Hawken, the authors state this vision “set off one of the most expensive scientific quests in history: creating the power of a star with a fusion reactor.

Now comes news of a potential breakthrough. And, surprisingly, it involves unique international cooperation.

In this July 29, 2020 report from Veteran Journalist Paul Brown, of the Climate News Network we learn that almost 100 years after Sir Arthur’s realization, we may, just may, be entering the first dimension of a revolution...unlimited, clean, and safe, energy...all of which can battle the growing viral effects of a degrading climate because of greenhouse gas emissions.

Whether all of this works depends upon a combination of other renewable energy strategies, coupled with nuclear fusion. But if it does work, the dedicated labors of scientists and engineers could produce a much better future for our Earth. We may know within this decade.
