3、ss4Fusion Energy and the Global Energy Challenge:Building a Viable Industrytodays energy systems to their limits.Fossil fuels are fundamentally incompatible with global decarbonization goals.And while current solutions-renewables,energy efficiency,smart grids,energy storage,and nuclear fission-are v
4、ital,they alone are not enough.In this context,fusion energy is emerging as a transformative strategic option:a clean,scalable,and reliable energy source with the potential to deliver massive baseload power.For the first time,fusion is no longer a distant promise.It is a rapidly evolving technologic
5、al reality-scientific milestones have been reached,a new industrial ecosystem is beginning to take shape,and private investment is accelerating.We are at an inflection point.It is time to move beyond research and into deployment-to translate discovery into delivery,and innovation into infrastructure
6、All forms of energy ultimately trace their origin to fusion.Solar,wind,hydro,even fossil fuels-each is a downstream expression of the fundamental reaction that powers the stars.If we can replicate here on Earth the same process that fuels the Sun,why keep relying on indirect energy sources?Fusion is
