Work begins in France to recreate process that powers the Sun: The experimental plant’s goal is to demonstrate that fusion power can be generated sustainably, and safely, on a commercial scale.

“Fusion provides clean, reliable energy without carbon emissions,” said a statement from the 35 ITER partners: China, the 27 members of the European Union, Britain, Switzerland, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States.

“Fusion is safe, with minute amounts of fuel and no physical possibility of a run-away accident with meltdown,” it added.

Furthermore, the fuel for fusion is found in seawater and lithium, abundant enough to supply humanity for millions of years.
