'Be the lead husky otherwise you only get one view!'
Why did governments risk the career futures of youth with Covid lockdown?
Is it
because Governments know that breakthrough technologies to quickly transform
economies may be close?
We are in
transition - inventions are imminent that will spawn thousands of new start-ups
and jobs. Stimulating growth, similar to the discovery of electricity, which
opened a door to the internet which then opened more doors to thousands of new
opportunities - like ripples on a pond.
The speed
of 5G when fully implemented will bring
enormous change world wide - It is much much more than 4G updated, and remember
4G speed was transforming – it brought an 'App' explosion almost overnight, with billion-dollar
apps like Uber, Deliveroo, and Spotify..
With 5Gspeed, an HD movie will take all of 2.5
seconds to download!
That’s
100-times faster than 4G! - that takes some taking in!
See more on what 5G will bring in my post on Steemit, including a video of a surgeon operating remotely on a patient made possible by 5G speed. Incredible.
A world
of abundant energy could also be excitingly close and virtually free. Described
as 'squandrable amounts of energy' in the book 'Abundance - The Future is Better than you think – ( Get It from
the right sidebar of my blog)
Prospects
for developing nuclear fusion as a feasible source of energy have significantly
improved, say experts.
Nuclear
fusion differs significantly from nuclear fission, our only way of getting
electricity from atoms since the 1950s.
Fusion is
what produces the sun's energy.
Enough
energy from the sun falls on the Sahara Desert in a day to fuel the whole world
for a year!
Researchers
have been trying for decades, to "Build the Sun in a box" as one
physicist dubbed it. The basic idea is to take a type of hydrogen gas, heat it
to more than 100 million degrees until it forms a plasma, and then control it
with powerful magnets until the atoms fuse and release energy.
To
deliver the fusion concept, countries have focused their energies on a major
international co-operative called Iter.
The plan
is to have the first plasma generated in 2025. However, getting from this step
to producing energy is extremely difficult.
The UK
government has recently announced an investment of £200m to deliver electricity
from a fusion reactor by 2040.
But
perhaps the major excitement comes from private companies. They are usually
smaller, nimbler, (for example -Tesla's Eion Musk's Company SpaceX,
successfully launching a manned rocket to the International Space Station for
millions of dollars less than NASA )
There are
now dozens of them around the world, raising funds and pushing forward, often
with different approaches to Fusion that will generate the squandrable amounts
of energy, transforming economies and lives everywhere.
But
sceptics and critics say - with the price of wind and solar continuing to drop,
existing renewables might offer a more economical and timely method of tackling
climate change , than an unproven technology like nuclear fusion.
Either way
The futures bright - 'Put that light o ut n!
