Power from Nuclear Fusion – Within Our Grasp?

Rokeby Room, Benn Hall | 15 March 2011 18:00 to 20:00
Event type: Talk

Nuclear fusion is one of the most promising options for generating large amounts of carbon-free energy in the future. At present, 80% of the developed world's energy comes from fossil fuels. Environmental problems – the greenhouse effect and the effects of acidic pollution – and diminishing fuel supplies mean that reliance on coal, gas and oil will have to be severely constrained. New, environmentally sustainable forms of electricity will be required to meet the aspirations of a growing worl
