Unseen Upside S3:EP1 Will Fusion Power or "Stars in a Jar" Replace Fossil Fuels?

Harnessing fusion power has been an elusive goal of physicists and researchers for decades, but recent scientific advances are helping to make that goal a reality. Described as a star in a bottle, fusion is what powers our sun and stars but here on earth, it has always presented unresolved engineering challenges —until now. Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on the brink of delivering commercial fusion energy thanks to their revolutionary magnet. But how does a safe, limitless, carbon-free, fusion power plant operate and when will this technology be replicated to meet the world’s energy needs? Hear from Bob Mumgaard (Commonwealth Fusion Systems); Katie Rae (The Engine); and Theresa Hajer (Cambridge Associates).
