"Someone started a war, and no one knows who, but it was known that it was mankind who blotted out the sky, attempting to deprive the machines of the solar power they required to function."
or perhaps: Johann Johannsson - Sun's Gone Dim (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv4CuIIspdE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv4CuIIspdE)
Moreover (and more seriously), though, fusion could be incredibly useful in terms of rocketry and power generation further out in the solar system.
- mohawk 12y agoIn the long run, the sky going dark is not such an unlikely scenario. Big asteroid impact or a large volcanic eruption would be enough. Or some big war, sadly we tend to have them quite frequently. I forgot that was the background story to The Matrix... :-) I agree that fusion power would also be great for travelling into deep space. In the reeeally long run, there is no other choice for mankind.
