Clean Energy
Research Cost: 50000
Summary
Further refinement of fusion fuels, married to clean energy policies, birth a new age of near-unlimited power.
Description
In many ways, every single one of our incredible discoveries made since we first discovered that we are not alone in the universe has led to this. Boundless energy, meeting humanity's every need for decades, perhaps even centuries to come, but without harming the world or the skies around us. As much as we look to other worlds, Earth is our home, and one in need of protection - from ourselves, perhaps more than any other threat. Fusion fuel - specifically, a further refinement of Deuterium-Helium-3 fusion - is key here, as it steps away from any need for steam and turbines, in favor of solid energy collectors, constructed from emission-free nanomaterials, and also releases no neutron radiation. Ultra-dense Deuterium, laser-compressed to be over 100x times as dense as our previous fusion fuel pellets, enables the generation of vast amounts of clean, safe power from the smallest of sources, and can be easily-transported effectively anywhere we might wish. But an age of clean energy for all is a matter of policy as much as it is a matter of technology. These fusion solutions must be shared with all human society, with the poorest nations and colonies as well as the wealthiest, rather than hidden behind a walled garden of patents and licensing costs. Once we take this step, we will at last be able to begin the healing of our suffering homeworld.
