How Close Are We to Fusion Power? l A Better Question Ep. 11

Nuclear Fusion lights the stars themselves - is it possible on Earth? It's a clean, nearly infinite source of energy - the holy grail of power generation that's been 50 years in the future for the last 80 years. Is this a case of the scientist who cried fusion? Also, what the heck is a tokamak?

Recent technology breakthroughs may finally allowed our grasp to catch up to our reach. So this episode takes another look at fusion power on Earth, when we can expect it, and what it might mean for our world.
