START WORK INTENSIVELY ON COLD FUSION NOW!!!

I think the UN should do something useful for once and make
an all out effort to advance the (some say unachievable) goal
of a practical Cold Fusion free energy generator. Yes, yes, I'm
aware of just how daunting a task that breakthrough-of-all-time
would be, but can anyone think of anything more important to
the future of humankind than having a sufficient source of the
energy needed to enable continued Civilization? Without enough
energy to go around, a nightmare world similar to Mad Max could
very well be in our species future. Fossil fuels certainly can't last
too many more decades, especially with hugely populated
nations like India and China making leaps and bounds in their
use of fossil fuels, seeking "progression".
At the same time, the UN could also encourage the continued
advancement in the development and use of devices to harness
the virtually inexhaustible and massive amounts of energy flooding
our little blue/green gem, from the mighty Sun.
If only Humankind could get past the obstacles of Foolish Pride
and stubborn Suspicion, and start working together to solve these
seemingly unsolvable technical challenges. I think, then, it could
be done. But, as I said, the problem of just tolerating each other,
to live and LET live, is absolutely vital.
This is, unfortunately, the hardest nut of all to crack.
I don't remember who it was who said that intelligent civilizations
could only last until the technology was sufficiently advanced to
the point where the means to TOTAL SELF DESTRUCTION was easily
available. It's looking more and more like we may be getting very
near that point. Iran building Nukes. North Korea possibly testing
Nukes YESTERDAY-SUNDAY. International Terror possibly possessing
some type of Nuclear devices, most likely dirty bombs, but full
chain-reactive fission, or even fusion!, explosive nightmare
weapons not completely out of the question. We've been shocked
and surprised before, let's not get TOO sure of ourselves about
what these misanthropists are incapable of pulling off.
My speech has gone on too far. The apples of my eye are pressing
me to use this contraption to have a bit of fun with their friends.
I intend on doing everything in my limited power to be part of the
solution, instead of part of the problem, to make sure my precious
little gremlins can use this thing for many years to come.
