Nuclear Fusion Energy: The Race to Create a Star on Earth

If the processes powering the fusion reactor at the Sun s core could be recreated on Earth, it would be one of the most important events in the history of our species. Nuclear fusion power plants could end our dependency on fossil fuels and provide a virtually limitless, highly efficient source of clean energy. We went to two of the world s leading nuclear fusion research centersSandia National Labs in New Mexico and General Fusion outside Vancouverto see how close we are to bringing the power of the sta
