Fusion energy is a promising alternative to traditional energy sources. Currently, annual consumption per person in the USA is 12.5 Tonnes of Coal Equivalent (TCE), in Western Europe it is 6.0 TCE, in China it is 1.4 TCE, and in India it is 0.7 TCE. Fusion, which powers the Sun and stars, offers many advantages such as essentially limitless fuel supply, no greenhouse gas emissions, impossibility of major accidents, and no long-lived radioactive waste. Scientists believe fusion energy could become a reality in the next 30 years, revolutionizing the global energy landscape.
