With the emerging realization that Solar and Wind energy is only commercially viable for 20% of the habitable earth, another safe and clean energy source is required. Our Black Swan event this year explores the magical promise of Nuclear Fusion (including Cold Fusion) to power the earth’s future energy needs.  Michl Binderbauer of TAE Technologies stated that by using Hydrogen Boron as the fuel for nuclear fusion we could cover the earth’s energy needs for the next 100,000 years.

We are bringing together nuclear energy experts and social acceptance professionals to inform our IITSEC audience on new nuclear fusion technologies and how we could accept these new nuclear technologies into our society and communities. Please join us for this engaging session!

The term Black Swan is used to describe a low probability/high impact event which could profoundly affect our future. The term comes from the 2007 book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, where he presents various world-changing events and advocates anti-fragility to not only survive but thrive during crises. We believe modeling and simulation can play a major part in exploring these events to find cures and better prepare us for similar crises in the future.
