Part 2/10:
For millennia, humanity has lived under the constraints of energy scarcity. Fusion holds the promise of breaking these barriers, ushering in an era where energy abundance could become the norm. Unlike conventional nuclear fission, which carries the risk of catastrophic meltdowns, fusion processes are inherently safer. Developers assert that there is no possibility of a runaway reaction reminiscent of historical disasters such as Chernobyl. The stakes are high: if American companies fail to lead in this revolutionary industry, the subsequent jobs and wealth generated could migrate to competitors like China.
