The alternative to using atomic bombs against Japan in 1945 was a planned invasion of Japan's home islands, which would have made the death toll in Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like a minor footnote to a countrywide bloodbath.

This month marks the 80^th anniversary of the use of nuclear weapons to end World War II. Two atomic bombs destroyed two Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, sending shockwaves all the way to Emperor Hirohito's bunker in Tokyo, where he told his military staff he would no longer sacrifice his country and its civilians in a war that was destroying his nation.

The debate continues to this day as to the morality of using nuclear weapons, with critics citing the enormous human cost. What they consistently fail to tally is the cost of not using atomic bombs to end the conflict.

Fusion energy is not only cheap, clean and limitless, it is also the "engine" that will drive the enormous increases in artificial intelligence (AI) that will be the ultimate super-weapon of this century. AI requires electricity -- enormous amounts of it -- that only fusion energy can generate cleanly, cheaply and in unlimited amounts.

If there were a formula for who will dominate the 21^st century, it would be: Fusion Energy + AI = World Supremacy.

Our nation, however, is now faced with a new and dangerous 21^st century threat.

China has been steamrolling ahead developing cheap, clean and limitless fusion energy to fuel the great new frontier of AI. Meanwhile, America appears stuck in the technology of soon-to-be-outdated fission energy.
