  • Harry Hamlin is not a rocket scientist, he is an actor, but unforeseen circumstances in his life cast him in a most unlikely role... as shepherd of a potentially world changing technology that could provide clean, cheap fusion power to the world for millennia. This talk is the story of his strange personal journey into big science and the insight that anyone can affect the future because you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a futurist!
    Classically trained, Harry Hamlin has degrees in acting from Yale University and The American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Mr. Hamlin’s stage credits include the Broadway revival of Clifford Odets’ AWAKE AND SING playing Moe Axelrod, the Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ SUMMER AND SMOKE playing John Buchanan and the Broadway revival of CHICAGO playing Billy Flynn. Mr. Hamlin played the title role in HAMLET at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton before playing Henry V in HENRY V at the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington D.C.
    Mr. Hamlin is co-founder of Tri Alpha Energy, Inc.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Amazing. I never really thought of how being born in a different timeline could have such an effect on your life.It shows how anything is possible given the right time and place. We can all take a "little something" from this and make a difference. Anything is possible.

    Well done Harry, to think I use to have a crush on you as an actor and now at 52 instead of a crush, I can simply respect and admire you for being a good man and a humanatarian. Those are the best legacy's we leave behind. Your Dad would be so proud of you. And yes we can be futurists, so thank you as it is people like yourself that motivate me to continue writing my book. So when it's complete I'll send you a copy. It will take a few years as I'm not a witer nor an actor, (wanted to be) but ended up being a nurse, which has led me to where I am today. I too am a humanitarian and I am hoping it will help humanity with the messages in it. I'm a small town gal in a tiny litle country in the middle of nowhere. It is not your run of the mill book but it will happen. I've titled it "The Universal Grid". By the way I found this TEDx by accident (or NOT) when I was listening to the Roberta Flack song Making love, which led me on to the film you starred in (which I will now try and find and watch it), which led me on to the various Interviews you were in, which led me on to this. Take care and all the best to you and your whanau (family) and the company too. Thank you for your inspiration.

    Harry it is so lovely to see you doing a TED TALK on very important global matters. That was an amazing story! Who knew you were a futurist? So am I and no I am not a rocket scientist either. I share your beliefs, concerns and love for humanity and the planet. Thank you for being another kindred spirit working to help restore our well being. There are so many awake and making contributions the best they know how. The greatest thing of all is coming from the space of the heart ♥️
    You did that in this talk! So many are right there with you and in alignment on this matter. Great love to you 🌍🙏🏾👏🤗🥰🙌

    Always loved the idea of fusion energy, and if you're onboard as well, then it's probably going to work...eventually.

    Interesting info, although I'm not in agreement on the limits of renewables.

    There are some really smart educated actors both male and female that should do TEDx Talks. As Hamlin shows that his vocation as an actor, has taught him to deliver a speech that not only keeps the audience interest but also his passion on the subject matter. Physics, nuclear fusion, renewable source of energy is all under the umbrella of what humanity has to address. Some in the present administration have people believing that global warming doesn’t exist. For those people well....I have no words! But, for the rest of us who want our children and grandchildren and future generations to inherit a planet that we would be proud to pass on we ALL need to put our words into action. Solar power is accessible to all if they have the money to do so, what about those who can not. We can rest assure this administration is in the business obliterating any past or future gains that scientists and experts have made. My hope is that our country will make it affordable, if not free, for every home in America run on renewable energy. We don’t need another 10 billion dollar plane to defend ourselves in conflict and war. The conflict has been staring us in the face and the war has to be now, because if don’t combat global warming there will be no planet to defend and save!

    A goofy video.....that left out the most important info. What is the company doing NOW! When can we see the results of their work come to reality? Can we invest in the company? And many more questions.....

    So you’re not a rocket scientist then why do I have to keep listening to this? Thanks for making it easy to stop listening.

    This is interesting because in the 30s the sun will get a little weaker and we'll go through a mini ice age. Until recently mini ice ages was considered nothing more than a myth.

    This video was just a waste of my time: this video is more about his life then futurist. All the information he provides I can get from a book called outlier
