40. Nuclear Fusion. Dream or Reality?

Nuclear Fusion. Combining two light atoms to form a larger atom, releasing energy in the process.

Clean, renewable, safe energy.

The stuff of Science Fiction… right?

Even if some experiments exist, a technology that is at least 15 years away from any sort of commercial adoption… right?

Well… Think again.

Hunter Bjork is here to tell us about the reality of Nuclear Fusion today, and the future of energy it will enable.

What is nuclear fusion? What's the difference between fusion and fission? Why does it matter? Are there any functioning nuclear fusion reactors today? What types of nuclear fusion exist? What are the potential applications? What do people know or think they know? How are different global players reacting to these new technologies? Why?

Hunter is the Founder and CEO of ISA, a collective of entrepreneurs and engineers who believe that all energy should be inherently sustainable, affordable, and decentralized. Hunter is focused on the re-imagination of how we power our world, and the commercialization of breakthrough clean technology. 

Are we closer to nuclear fusion than we think? Listen, and embark on a never ending learning path.

So much to learn from this episode, I hope you can enjoy it as much as I did!
