A promising advance but still a long way to go.
Random recall...
I saw Bill Nye the Science Guy on CNN last night, in a story about the promising new "sun in a box" potential for newly 'harnessed' nuclear fusion, touted as a safe and near-limitless source of energy, harvested from hydrogen, perhaps via sea water.
Bill Nye explains why nuclear fusion breakthrough is a big deal
Anyway, I just thought this was a cute observation and acronym.... Asked what's to prevent rapid development & deployment Nye referred to the ever-present "NIMBY" factor ("Not In My Back Yard") and said the most likely obstruction in this case might be the "BANANA" factor: Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything"
Ah, found it. (And correctly remembered Banana! 🤓)
It's this exact interview which I saw, yesterday. Short but sweet & pithy.

Interesting development but still a long way to go.
