Look inside this lab where scientists are recreating the energy of the sun to produce nearly unlimited clean energy

April 30, 2021

CNBC Recreating in a lab the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and other stars — which is called nuclear fusion — is a feat as complex as it sounds. Fusion has the potential to create massive amounts of carbon-free or clean energy. So though no scientists have quite accomplished creating usable energy from fusion just yet, a handful of companies are

Analysis-Climate could pay the price as Europe’s nuclear plants age
