A Crash Program To Create the Fusion Economy
by 21st Century Science & Technology Staff
This is the second in our series of articles from the 21st Century Science and Technology (TCS) Special Report, ``Mankind's Thermonuclear Future'' (www.larouchepac.com). Here, TCS calls for an immediate, international, collaborative crash program to achieve controlled thermonuclear-fusion power generation in the short term, along with other ultra-high technology industrial applications of fusion technology. Last week, EIR (Sept. 13) published ``The Pacific Development Corridor: Maglev Across the Bering Strait,'' by Benjamin Deniston.
We have reached the point that not only is man's power to harness the processes of the Sun an emerging reality, it is, in fact, an existential necessity. We must now direct our creative faculties and physical resources, in an international collaboration reaching from Eurasia to the Americas, toward achieving critical breakthroughs in the domain of thermonuclear processes. This is the long-delayed next step in the willful process of human evolution, illustrated by the previous successive transitions from a wood-based society, to a coal economy, then to petroleum and natural gas, followed by the higher potentials of nuclear fission power. By increasing what the American economist Lyndon LaRouche has defined as the energy-flux density of the economy, we gain control over processes of higher energy throughput per unit of area, as expressed in a wide range of technologies, infrastructure projects, and production methods. With the fusion economy, energy supplies become relatively limitless,... |

- A Crash Program To Create the Fusion Economy
In this, the second in our series of articles from the 21st Century Science & Technology Special Report, 'Mankind's Thermonuclear Future,' the TCS staff issues a call for an immediate, international, collaborative crash program to achieve controlled thermonuclear-fusion-power generation in the near term, along with other ultra-high technology industrial applications of fusion technology. 'This is the long-delayed next step in the willful process of human evolution, illustrated by the previous successive transitions from a wood-based society, to a coal economy, then to petroleum and natural gas, followed by the higher potentials of nuclear fission power.'
International
- Putin-Led War Avoidance Is a Strategic Breakthrough
The agreement brokered by Russia to eliminate Syria's stockpiles of chemical weapons, as part of a broader effort to end the Syrian conflict through a Geneva II conference, was hailed by Lyndon LaRouche as a strategic breakthrough, and could bring about a reversal of the trend toward war and dictatorship that has dominated since January 2001.
- SCO:
Asia Looks to the Future—Can the U.S. Follow Its Lead?
On Sept. 13, in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, the Eurasian nations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization came together to discuss great cross-regional infrastructure development policies, centered on the proposal by Chinese President Xi Jinping for a New Silk Road.
- Evidence of Syrian Rebel Use of Chemical Weapons Is Widespread
Evidence continues to mount, showing that, in fact, it was the rebels, and not the Assad government, who were responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

- 'The Devil's Tail Is Twisted':
Now Return to the Future!
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
'There is no presently knowable upper limit to the potential for the rise of the human species to levels of control within our environments,' LaRouche writes. 'The specific quality of the human mind, in what might be fairly described as its most characteristic distinction, is that mind's aptitude for knowledge of developments in the future. . . .'
