> Tongue in cheek: we urgently need fusion power plants. For the AI and the helium.

Whenever I read about fusion, I get reminded of a note in the sci-fi book trilogy The Night's Dawn. In that story, the introduction of cheap fusion energy had not cured global warming on Earth but instead sped it up with all the excess heat from energy-wasting devices.

What matters is not what we don't have, but how we manage that which we do have.
