That's actually, in a sense, an indirect fusion because you have this massive fusion reactor that's known as the sun. But microfusion is both super safe and can produce enormous amounts of power very cheaply. And once you have enormous amounts of power, you can solve significant world crises. So for example, how do you do decarbonization?

How do you pull carbon out of the atmosphere in order to reduce global temperature back to that great band that humanity prospers in? And the answer is it takes a lot of energy.

Well, if your energy is carbon producing as you're doing it and you're not net doing it, so you have to be carbon neutral to negative on this, then if you can produce it at massive scale, you can pull carbon out of the energy, let alone power all of the things that human beings want, houses and transport and all the rest. So it's more than the silver bullet.

Well, I think it's a significant step forward. I don't know exactly where we will be in scale quantum computing. Usually, again, of course, the discourse with new technology always starts with the fears, which is a mistake that I'm always trying to correct. because it doesn't mean you shouldn't have concerns and anxieties and navigate.

But like, for example, you go, oh my God, quantum computing, it's going to break security and our banking system is going to collapse and our public encryption and security safety is going to collapse. And oh my God, there's a disaster. Like, well, look, we'll have to figure that out because that'll be an issue once we get to what is somewhere maybe

minimum 2000 or 5000 logical quantum bits, qubits. So that's at 2000 to 5000 or more is when you get into the encryption issues. I'd call it 150 to 250 logical qubits. So a complete order of magnitude down, quantum computers become great at helping invent new medicines, new drugs, new semiconductors, new physical materials, things at a micro scale.

That's going to be the first thing from quantum computing. So the moment that we can get there, it'll have enormous prosperity benefits well before we have to navigate these things. And so I'm very hopeful about quantum computing. I just don't know the timeframe.

So I think we have had people with that much power in history, but I think part of modern society is to create checks and balances, to create accountability within your government. So like, for example, Traditionally, when you have people who go into government, they put their business stuff in blind trust and do other things in order to avoid conflicts of interest.
