A Majestic Energy Dream That May Actually Emerge Within a Few Years

08/01/20 • 7 min

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.

Global offshore wind industry takes huge strides

In 2009, Al Gore, writing in his book “Our Choice,” presented an optimistic vision of wind power, and how it can be harnessed in the race to save us from the degrading effects of greenhouse gas emissions.

Mr. Gore explained that wind farms, with multiple windmills, can be added on a scalable basis. He described how windmills can be built, and installed, within 2 months. With low maintenance and long durability, a compelling case was made for wind energy, especially ocean-based wind turbines, where winds are usually stronger than on land.

In this episode of Climate Monitor, we present a report entitled, Global offshore wind industry takes huge strides, by Paul Brown of the Climate News Network. This episode contains his August 12, 2020 report from London, and shows how far the industry has advanced since Mr. Gore's book.
