I barely have my eyes open this morning and catch in my backyard and my ears hear “Energy Breakthrough”.

I had that same feeling I mentioned yesterday when I was surfing on the web and ran into a video of Bill Clinton and a former Presidents mission to save the planet. The picture here kind of gives you the feeling I used to get when I would hear stories about energy.

Yawn, yawn, and of course, in my new found awareness of respecting green, I was staggered by the destructive future the world faces and became quickly humbled by Clinton’s mission to morph our globe into a green non toxic world.

Upon impact of TV anchors shouting “Energy Breakthrough” from my TV, again, I was thinking, “Oh C’mon people, are we having a slow news day here?

Every day on Hart of Green is a real eye opener to the colors of green that were once shunned and discounted for wasting my time. This story was again a wake up call that we live in historical times on all levels and across all races.

If you haven’t heard yet, some laser beam [of course I have a smile on my face thinking of Austin Powers when I hear any reference to the phrase "laser beam"] at Lawrence Livermore Lab is the world’s most powerful laser designed to take the world beyond nuclear energy.

Largest Laser Beam in the World

That’s right, in about 18 months, physicists will conduct a highly-publicized test to create fusion energy from water.

“But if it succeeds, the system could do more than create energy in a new way. It might actually rid the world of leftover nuclear waste in the process, said director Ed Moses.

This explanation below was so much better on TV watching the laser beam, and even the word FUSION is titilating to hear especially when you understand that it’s the FUSION that will burn up and disinigrate trash and nuclear waste turning it into energy. Wow! Let me put it another way, tons of material now piling up at nuclear storage sites around the country could potentially be burned a second time, taking most of the radioactivity out of it in the process. Even a new kid on the green block can get excited about that piece of news.

They’re talking about firing 200 individual laser beams generated by an accelerator the size of a football field. The beams converge on a single target chamber containing a capsule of hydrogen. The hope is to compress it, and creating a subatomic reaction called fusion, ultimately igniting a controlled version of the same thermo-nuclear combustion that takes place on the sun.

“You think about Yucca Mountain, which people worry about and the president has decided not to use anymore. That waste is still around the country. What are we going to do with it?” said Moses.

“We could use a life engine to burn that up, too, and get more energy out.”

But they admit, the chances of a life engine plant becoming reality ultimately depends on one of the biggest experiments of our time, and whether hundreds of lasers can trigger fusion, creating energy from water.

How fun to start the day with skepticism and then give myself time, like you have here, to soak it all in and appreciate we live in an extroadinary age. Our planet could get a ‘whole lot more lovin’ if we  take that time to digest the biggest energy breakthrough news we’ve heard in 100 years.
