I am not joking. If you really look at the philosophy of the lilly whites, you will find that deep down their environmentalism is a vehicle for mass murder of people they don't like to produce a garden of eden in which they are in charge. The only way the environment can be fixed in their minds, is through mass depopulation. Environmentalism is mostly just a cover story. Fusion would allow the current population to exist, and in a much cleaner environment. This is not what the lilly whites want, and so they will ban it.
However, the lilly white's policies are getting less and less traction overseas. China will work in its own interest. So will India. None of them will commit suicide just because our ruling class wants them to.
"When two scientists announced last month in Utah that they had achieved room-temperature nuclear fusion, the news shot through the halls of science like a scalded cat. "It was," one Berkeley physicist said, "like seeing your car suddenly jump on the roof." It was that unexpected and stunning.
But now that the first waves of astonishment, wonder and euphoria have passed, a few scientists, environmentalists and ecological activists have begun to have more troubling thoughts. For one thing, they say, even if desktop fusion really works--a matter still very much up in the air--it is unclear that the power produced will be as cheap or clean as many have suggested it might be.
And even if it were, given society's dismal record in managing technology, the prospect of cheap, inexhaustible power from fusion is "like giving a machine gun to an idiot child," Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich says. Laments Washington-based author-activist Jeremy Rifkin, "It's the worst thing that could happen to our planet." Inexhaustible power, he argues, only gives man an infinite ability to exhaust the planet's resources, to destroy its fragile balance and create unimaginable human and industrial waste. "
