Fusion energy record demonstrates powerplant future - Culham Centre for Fusion Energy

Good news! Why Western countries do not invest more money into nuclear fusion is incomprehensible! By comparison, wasting tax payers money on e.g. wind turbines, solar power, or biofuels is reckless and futile!

Nuclear fusion and superconductivity are probably the two best options for humanity to generate and supply enough energy for generations to come!

"Record results announced today are the clearest demonstration worldwide of the potential for fusion energy to deliver safe and sustainable low-carbon energy.

Researchers from the EUROfusion consortium – 4,800 experts, students and staff from across Europe, co-funded by the European Commission – more than doubled previous records achieved in 1997 at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) site in Oxford using the same fuel mixture to be used by commercial fusion energy powerplants.

59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy was demonstrated by scientists and engineers working on the Joint European Torus (JET), the largest and most powerful operational tokamak machine in the world. ..."

Fusion energy is crucial in addressing climate change through a safe, sustainable, efficient and low-carbon energy supply
