Overview

For as long as humans have been able to look up without walking into trees, we've wanted to steal fire from the heavens. First it was lightning, then coal, then uranium - and now, the Sun itself. Fusion energy is our most ambitious heist yet: trying to bottle a star without melting the lab, the budget, or our sanity. We've been chasing this glowing mirage for nearly a century, lured by the promise of limitless clean power. ""Just 30 years away,"" scientists keep saying - which would be more comforting if they hadn't been saying it since Eisenhower was president. At this point, fusion has outlasted most fashion trends, several wars, and the concept of patience. But the dream is too dazzling to die. The idea that we could replicate the Sun's power here on Earth - using hydrogen, magnets, lasers, and stubborn optimism - still ignites the imagination. It's the ultimate cosmic flex: turning humanity's tendency to play with matches into a sustainable energy plan.
