Analyzing My Own Assumptions

Below are my opinions, values and ideas about the nuclear fusion becoming a major energy producer in humanity's economy. My beliefs are what framed my opinion about the article so examining myself is important when analyzing the article critically.

1. Beginning with Teddy Roosevelt's Land Act which conserved land for future generation and when protecting the environment really fit its strike in the late 60s and early 70s, protecting the environment has weighed on the minds of conscience citizens across the world. Reducing carbon emission, protecting clean water sources from toxic chemicals and finding alternative energies are some of the few ways humanity has tried to preserve the environment. This text was written with the frame of mind to find new energy sources to become renewable. I share the values that this text was written in. I agree that new energy sources need to found to power our economy because fossil fuels are finite source. Find energy sources that are abundant and renewable like nuclear fusion will be the pinnacle of known renewable energy sources. It provide sustained energy which no other renewable sources can do as of now.
2. I do not agree that fusion technology is the only renewable source that can be used effectively to power a majority of the world's economy. Advances in solar panel technology and the effectiveness of solar farms in areas with lots of sunlight coupled with a nuclear fission reactor is providing over 50% of the power in Arizona. This can duplicated in other parts of the world to create economies which rely on more renewables for power.
3. This article is written by a Western scientist educated in London and on was on the faculty at UCLA. He writes in a way that I understand culturally and agree with almost completely.
4. This was written less than a month ago and it is speaks about the future of nuclear fusion technology. So, societies beliefs have not changed greatly about the prospect of renewable energy replacing fossil fuels and which renewable sources the energy with come from.

Edit:
Charles and Ann Emilie were the posts I reviewed. While I was reading over Ann Emilie's post, I was impressed by her ability to self-reflect about the culture she is apart of and how the author who is from a different region of the country might have a different take on things culturally. It makes me reflect on my opinions regarding fusion compared to those of the author of my article. Charles and I had very similar answers to our questions which made me think whether or not I found an  article with enough opinion in it. Great job by both Charles and Ann Emilie!
