Part 6/13:
Fusion energy, often dubbed the “Holy Grail” of clean energy, provides the prospect of virtually limitless energy with minimal environmental impact. By mimicking the sun's energy production through the fusion of atomic nuclei, small-scale fusion reactors are anticipated to be operational by 2025. However, the technical challenges of creating and managing these reactors—requiring extreme heat and specialized containment methods—remain formidable obstacles.
If successful, fusion energy could transform the global energy landscape and contribute significantly to addressing climate change, but significant investment in research and development is still required.
