Good article. But, it's a warning that's very unlikely to be of benefit, because it explicitly requires that those developing the new technology are really able to plan a

Those developing new technologies are experts in the narrow field. The development and implementation of new technologies in the proper social context would require team work. Experts from different fields of knowledge. It could work in theory. In our reality - who knows...

Those making the executive decisions are out for their own personal gain. They hire the experts to do what they're told, not to determine how the results of their work will be put to use. The Supreme Court, in what I consider a depressing and shortsighted Opinion, declared that a Corporation's ONLY mandate is to maximize monetary profit, regardless of social or environmental consequences. Until this attitude changes for the better, a pessimistic prediction would appear most realistic. :pinched:

The future is here: Reactor that will kick-off era of clean and unlimited energy is 50% ready

The international experiment designed to show that nuclear fusion can be a viable source of energy is already halfway completed, said the organization behind the revolutionary project.

The construction of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), in the south of France, began in 2013, but several complications have led to the project going through a stony road, reaching very high costs of 22 billion dollars.

Today, its operators have announced that it is in the middle of its construction and that they expect it to be completed in 2021 and start superheating the first hydrogen atoms in 2025 – a milestone known as “first plasma”.

The British fusion program predicted on-grid fusion energy by 2033. Have to check up on that and see if it's still on track.

Looked it up

The UK Just Switched on an Ambitious Fusion Reactor - And It Works


First plasma has been achieved.

The question is why they are spending enormous amount of time, money and resources to build ITER just to prove something the British have already achieved?

Humans are so disorganized!:andy:

Laser-Delivered Internet Could be a Game Changer for Millions of Indian Citizens

In Andhra Pradesh, a southeast state in India, a subsidiary of Alphabet called simply “X” might soon be delivering the internet with lasers. According to the company, they aim to provide “fiber optic cable, but without the cable.” The technology that makes this all happen is called free space optical communications (FSOC) technology.
