Summary:
- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has launched a national roadmap to deliver commercial fusion power by the mid-2030s.
- Fusion power is a promising clean energy source that could provide abundant, safe, and sustainable electricity by fusing atoms together instead of splitting them apart like in nuclear fission.
- The roadmap outlines the key steps and investments needed to accelerate the development of fusion technology and make it a viable commercial option in the next 10-15 years.
