Are We Finally on the Road to Fusion Power?

The Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Oxford announced a breakthrough in nuclear fusion, doubling the previous record for sustained energy. While JET's experiment didn't achieve net energy, it sets the stage for the larger ITER project in France, expected to start in 2025. Fusion, a clean energy source, involves fusing atomic nuclei under extreme conditions, using devices like Tokamaks. Despite challenges, fusion holds promise for future energy needs, though it won't solve immediate climate issues.
