LIFE: Clean Energy from Water LIFE: Clean Energy from Water Complete video at: fora.tv Ed Moses, Director for the National Ignition Facility, describes NIF's plan to move fusion energy from the lab to the grid using the Laser Inertial Fusion Engine, or LIFE. The conceptual mechanism would harness the power of fusion to generate gigawatts of waste-free energy from heavy water. ----- Finally achieving fusion energy may be closer than everyone thinks. For decades the dream has been to employ the reaction that powers stars to generate high-volume electricity without the drawbacks of fission reactors -- no high-level waste, no weapons application, no risk of meltdown, no use of uranium, and (as with fission) no greenhouse gases. Ed Moses is director of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore Labs. Focusing massive amounts of laser light for a billionth of a second, the NIF is expected to demonstrate ignition of a fusion reaction (more energy out than in) for the first time in the coming year, followed by the prospect of a prototype machine for generating continuous clean energy by the end of this decade. That could change everything. The NIF itself is a spectacular work of "technological sublime." - The Long Now Foundation Dr. Edward Moses is the Director for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and the Principal Associate Director for the NIF and Photon Science organization at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California. Dr. Moses was responsible for completing construction and activation <b>...</b>
