Fusion Energy: A Shortcut to Solving our Climate Emergency
Description:
There is an entire spectrum of fusion, from tokamaks, the most scientifically proven but most difficult to engineer and scale, to solid-state fusion, the least scientifically proven but fastest and least expensive to scale. The participants will share the perspectives on the global race going on to make fusion commercial and scalable. These panelists will also discuss a potential shortcut to achieve these goals: solid-state fusion.
