Future of Energy
Why Fusion Power Remains Stuck Between Breakthrough and Power Plant
Fusion power's path to commercial viability is blocked not by igniting plasma, but by the need to simultaneously solve complex scientific, engineering, and industrial integration challenges. Overcoming issues like mastering burning plasmas, developing durable materials, and establishing regulatory frameworks is crucial for realizing this clean energy source.
