Imagine a world powered by clean, abundant energy. No more fossil fuels, no more dams. This is the promise of nuclear fusion, a technology that harnesses the power of the sun right here on Earth. In this episode of The Climate Realist, we're diving into the world of fusion. We'll explore how it works, compare it to traditional nuclear fission, and discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. This isn't a future fantasy. Scientists are now making significant progress in developing fusion reactors, and it could be the key to solving the climate crisis. But there are still hurdles to overcome.
