Twitter Snapshot: Steve Cowley says we'll have fusion soon
Theoretical physicist Steve Cowley acknowledged today that while fusion is really hard to do it's also the planet's best shot of having a clean and safe renewable energy source. Twitter seemed to be shaken by this desirable concept:
Okay that woke me up (Steve Cowley) -- RichMulholland
Steve Cowley's fusion talk is making me as excited about fusion as when I first unlocked it in SimCity -- kn0thing
Fusion. Want it now. 150 million degrees makes it happen. So what's preventing it? Not " cold fusion" nonsense. EU Power awaits in 2030 -- joeltalks
the best form of energy isn't the SUN, it is the one that you save... -- leeander
Can't tweet the nuclear physics talk from Steve Cowley. Requires my full attention. -- ruthannharnisch
