Another Topic Suggestion: The "Fusion Powered Future"
Index Previous in Thread Next in Thread

In Chapter 31, page 298 of "Distant Vision," Pem Farnsworth describes some of her husband's vision for the impact that fusion might have on our culture, economy, and society. I'm going to ask the Farnsworth family for permission to reprint a portion of that chapter on a web page and link it to this site.

In the meantime, is there any interest in discussing those questions and issues? How will fusion really work in the world? Will we have fusion powered transportation or will the generators have to be stationery? Will it give us a new means of space travel, or is rocket science the only way to leave the earth's atmosphere.

Questions like that... worth a new discussion thread?
