Fusion Future
For most human beings, any change, even a positive one, raises anxiety levels. Here we discuss the dream of a fusion world and the ordeal of change - the issues that must be addressed to transition from our world to a fusion world.

Truly Green Nuclear Energy
Before we can imagine a wonderful future, we need to imagine the ideal energy source. The energy of the future must be safe (no radioactive waste or weapons potential), clean (no GHG or other forms of pollution), cheap, easily distributed, scalable, and sustainable (essentially unlimited). As a concept, Focus Fusion fits that criteria better than any other concept out there.
Transition
This section looks at ways to facilitate the transition to fusion world, to make it as universally beneficial as possible.
Fusion World
What does a world that runs on focus fusion look like? Consider a world with safe, cheap, clean, unlimited energy. It's hard to imagine because it's so different from what we have now.

Fusion or Eating Insects?

If we don’t get fusion up and running, we may have to make a global shift to insect farming.
Are Renewables in Competition with Focus Fusion?
Feb 05, 2009If Focus Fusion is successful, will it mean that all the investment of time, energy, passion and money that has gone into traditional renewables is wasted? If we can get unlimited energy for a song, will all those solar energy companies go bankrupt? Is this a win/lose proposition?
Transition to Hybrid Cars
Jul 25, 2006Transitions don’t happen over night. When you compare total energy costs of hummers to hybrid cars today, as Art Spinella from CNW Marketing Research did, you find that the hybrids cost twice as much per mile driven. Hummer drivers rejoiced at this news, because they didn’t listen to the rest of the analysis.

Energy Crisis
Jul 14, 2006The Energy Crisis*
*and the fusion footnote
According to many sources, the world today is caught in an escalating energy crisis. The crisis has profound economic, political and environmental impacts, which are steadily getting worse. But there is something missing from the old “Energy Crisis” equation, and that is Focus Fusion.
Distributed Electricity Generation
May 30, 2006An additional benefit of focus fusion is that it can be used for distributed generation. Distributed generation is the idea that electricity should be generated close to where it is used. This has many benefits including reducing the risk of widespread blackouts. The majority of a community’s power could be generated in the community instead of being transmitted hundreds of miles from distant power plants. This would prevent distant equipment failures from affecting the community’s power supply.
