At the Future Trends Forum, KIT expert Klaus Hesch warns: without a strong and scalable supply chain, Europe risks missing the fusion energy race
This article has been translated using artificial intelligence Fusion energy is a global promise -but also a monumental challenge. To turn it into a clean, abundant, and safe energy source, mastering plasma is not enough: we must learn how to fuel and sustain that system for decades. That’s the key point raised by Richard Pearson, […]
