U.S. Energy Department Secretary Jennifer Granholm needed only to look at DICK TRACY in 1982 to discover benefits of FUSION POWER.
"The aim of fusion research is to replicate the nuclear reaction through which energy is created on the sun. It is a 'holy grail' of carbon-free power that scientists have been chasing since the 1950s. It is still at least a decade — maybe decades — away from commercial use, but the latest development is likely to be touted by the Biden administration as an affirmation of a massive investment by the government over the years."

Happy Veterans Day!
John Trumbull (b. 1756 – d. 1843)
Artists are important but often overlooked. Patriot and veteran John Trumbull sketched enemy fortifications for General George Washington. Years later John Trumbull would tell stories with his art, if you look at the back of a two-dollar bill you will see his famous painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He did many prolific works some hanging in the US Capitol.
