Call it the jelly belly reactor. The point is, cheap, plentiful power is what started us on the industrial path and is what is needed to allow everyone to live this dream ( of a modern lifestyle ).
Show how modern societies have reduced birthrates along with higher standards of living and how plentiful and diffuse energy sources eliminate the societies need to war on each other to maintain and grow this standard.
Is this paper yours or his? Writing to please a professor is far different than writing to find answers for yourself and foment honest discussion. I have received failing grades for differing with my liberal professors. But, I believed as strongly about my position and had educated myself in the process of research that I was able to defend my position in a student board of inquiry and force a retraction of the failing grade from the professor.
It's up to you. Do you go to school to learn or to pass a class?
