"the birds do it. why don't we have airplanes? "why do we have to get our feet--from. "we go from one continent to another. "why don't you get in the great big airplane and go--sky?" what would people say a hundred years ago? our time will come. our time will come, but not yet. hmm? and now we say, "why don't we have fusion power plants?" you don't have any radioactive waste. this is a dream come true. you know, you get more energy out of 10 liters per water, per second, than yo
