Astro Teller says, “Let’s all go do moonshots. But wait, there’s a catch. But the catch isn’t what you think.”

Scientists who engage with society perform better academically, according to a study.  So start tweeting about fusion!

An inspiring article in Forbes challenges us to energy excellence.

Fusion.  Prove it.  We can’t wait!  Another inspiring pro science twitter exchange.

Dennis Whyte of MIT gave a TED Talk entitled:  “Bringing a Star to Earth For Energy”

The Fusion Energy League would like to set up the @FusEnLeague twitter account to be taken over weekly by different fusion researchers, investors and protagonists, people who have a fusion story and desire.

ASP’s new White Paper report, “Fusion Power – A 10 Year Plan to Energy Security” provides a bold and detailed plan on how to accelerate the development of fusion power.  Help spread the word.  And tell us what you think!

Fusion Day 2013 falls on Thursday, March 14th, Pi Day!  In connection with Fusion Day, the American Security Project is launching a new white paper proposing a 10 year plan to fusion production.  They will host a session on The Hill on March 13th to kick start this effort.

Some folks think the Fusion Energy League has a strategy for using social media for fusion.  We don’t.  Not yet.  We’re still figuring things out.  Seriously.  How do you promote fusion in this milieu?  As we venture out into the social media jungle, things come up.  Things of utter simplicity that shake us to our foundation.

Where does fusion’s bad rep come from?

Staying on message isn’t as important as finding out what people really think, feel and want to know about your cause.  Only then can you craft a message that is worth staying on.

Thank you to environmental writer Andrew Revkin of DotEarth who posted a well rounded article on fusion on the October 18 New York Times online Opinion Page.

Do you think the magnetic fusion program is too expensive?  Americans are spending almost as much on Halloween Pet costumes this year.

And this is how we respond.
