Steven Cowley: Fusion is energy's future

Fusion is energy's future

Harnessing fusion energy, akin to the sun's power, could offer a virtually inexhaustible, clean energy source for millions of years.

At 150 million degrees, fusion occurs, merging hydrogen isotopes to release vast energy, pointing to a future of limitless power.

Fusion's promise for the 2030s: turning cutting-edge experiments into real-world power plants, addressing global energy crises.
