Why Was The Director Of MIT's Fusion Center Shot To Death? [View all]

Last edited Thu Dec 18, 2025, 04:30 PM - Edit history (1)

From Crooks and Liars;

“…Loureiro is known for his research on how plasma works, "particularly turbulence and the physics underpinning solar flares & other astronomical phenomena." He was studying how to harness clean "fusion power" to combat climate change."

“Considering the potential for fusion energy, was that a factor in his murder?”
