If you are a labs scientist, do you think we will see it in our lifetime?

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

That is, the claim that the earth's crust contains orders of magnitude more energy than an equivalent volume of crude oil or coal -- as you might be aware, the world consumption of oil is around 1 cubic mile per year,

I have seen these estimates as well but nuclear energy is dead end, so that is that. It is fusion, or it is just downsizing and clean energy. The other problem is even if fusion of nuclear worked it would just mean more people and still bad for the environment. We simply have to accept that we need less people, much less people.
Limitless energy will create more problems than it will solve. So what if we can get to Mars? We will just destroy like we are doing to the earth.
