Invested by Europe: Why Nuclear Fusion Could Change the Future of Energy

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun. If it can be
made to work efficiently on Earth, it could reshape global energy
systems — offering a clean, abundant and stable source of power.


In this episode of Invested by Europe, Franz Derler from the
European Investment Bank explains how fusion works, why even a
small amount of mass can produce an enormous amount of energy,
and why fusion has so far only been achieved at laboratory scale.
He discusses the two major technological approaches — magnetic
confinement and laser fusion — and the rapid rise in private
investment, with more than $10 billion committed in just five
years.


If fusion becomes a reality, the implications for the climate,
the economy and even global geopolitics would be profound.


Invested by Europe looks at the forces shaping the European
economy — and how breakthrough technologies might define the
future.
