Dec. 27—The recent fusion breakthrough at the U.S.’s National Ignition Facility points to the powerful secrets that nature is just begging to reveal to committed searchers for truth! The breakthrough is all the more impressive in light of the pitifully low levels of fusion funding overall, and the fact that the NIF’s primary mission is to aid in the development of civilization-ending nuclear weapons. But the lessons of combined inertial-magnetic geometries — ideas championed nearly half a century ago by the LaRouche-founded Fusion Energy Foundation — illuminate more clearly a path towards the scientific technological breakthroughs which more than any other will define the next chapter of human history: the commercial controlled use of nuclear fusion power.
