David Kirtley: Nuclear fusion could revolutionize energy production, why fusion reactors are inherently safe, and the potential for an era of energy abundance

Nuclear fusion combines light hydrogen atoms to release energy, similar to the sun's processes. Fusion reactors are inherently safe as they cannot melt down, unlike fission reactors. Achieving commercial fusion could usher in an era of energy abundance.
