The Solution to the Energy Crisis...25 years away?

Here at Greekmile, we are fans of innovators. Fans of the future and the things that help progress humanity. One such issue that is at the heart of much debate today is the Energy Crisis facing our planet. It is clear that fossil fuels are a finite resource, and one that is quickly being depleted. But where do we turn? Obviously Coal has many many drawbacks especially the environmental impact. Natural Gas can come from the US but is again, finite. And methods of using ethanol seem to be costly and time consuming. But there is one form of energy that is essentially endless and was until recently far-fetched. That form of energy is Fusion.

Although this video was from 2008, according to a NEW Science Channel show (Discovery affiliate), what has happened in the last 2 years of development has made Fusion a real possibility, really soon. Scientists working on Fusion from around the world predict this kind of technology will solve the energy crisis and be available publicly sometime around 2035, plus or minus 5 years. This is not just a scientific breakthrough but this could also be part of the solution to many of the world\'s
