Three years ago, I was fourteen, living the life of a
typical freshman in high school. I was involved in sports, had a fair share of friends,
and had absolutely no interest to change the world or had any clue what I was
going to do with the rest of my life. Unlike me, unmotivated and clueless, a
boy by the name of Taylor Wilson had an idea and was building a nuclear fusion
reactor in his garage with ambitions to change the world. He believes nuclear
fusion is a solution to our future energy needs. He spoke at a TED conference
and shared a short version of his incredible story. I was in awe after watching
this podcast because it became evident that one doesn’t have to be a certain
age in order to make an impact in our world. Taylor became interested in this
issue after his grandmother struggled to receive radioactive drugs needed for
her chemotherapy; this was the point of inspiration young Taylor used to create
a reactor that could be built in any hospital to help patients like his grandmother.
Any idea, no matter how miniscule or insignificant it may seem, created by any
person regardless of age or personal background, has the potential to change
the world. Taylor Wilson has already accomplished more than the average
seventeen year old, and he is just getting started on his journey to solving our world's energy crisis.
