As a result I'm in favour of dealing with our problems by cutting back human activity levels while moving towards less impactful forms of energy like wind power. The concern I have is that fusion power like this will produce too much energy too cheaply, and in using it we may drive the planet past the point where it can sustain some or all life.


Sounds a lot like thinning out the human population ... I hope I'm mistaken, but if not, that is truly a scary thought.
