The Promise
Since mankind knows about the energy inside the atom and build the first fission reactor scientist from all around the world try to tame the process that produces the suns energy. Nuclear fusion. The technology sounds too good to be true. It's supposed to be cleaner than the burning of fossile fuels, less limited than renewable energy and safer than fission.
Fusing one gram of hydrogen releases as much energy as burning 10.8 million gram of coal. To achieve this goal the European Union, Russia, USA, China and others are building "ITER". The first reactor supposed to produce ten times more energy than was needed to run it.
Technologies have made our economic growth possible. Helped to create democracy and capitalism which provided equality and wealth. Gave us the confidence that we could fly to the moon and find vaccines for pandemics. With fusion energy as an example "The Promise" shows our faith in innovations und the wish for unlimited growth in a limited world.
