We are close, very close. But we still have a long way to go to ensure that fusion energy, which comes from the stars and promises to be clean and inexhaustible, can power our refrigerators or our light bulb in the living room. If we ask Dennis G. Whyte, director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), will answer that this decade will witness the latest achievements of this feat. And he speaks with knowledge of the facts, since the core of the SPARC project, the fusion reactor that MIT is devising, was devised more than eight years ago during one of its design courses. Now, time and many advances in the field, fusion energy is a great promise for the future, not only scientifically, but also economically and socially.
