Nuclear fusion could be the clean energy of the future — but these 'tough' challenges stand in the way

The experiment at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory showed ignition: a fusion reaction generating more energy out than was put in.

The past few years have been marked by a multibillion-dollar windfall of private investment in the field.

But a host of engineering challenges must be addressed before fusion can be scaled up to become a safe, affordable source of virtually unlimited clean power.

George R. Tynan : Developing practical fusion energy is no longer an if but a when.

He says partnerships between government and private companies could be similar to that between NASA and SpaceX.

He writes that the U.S. is cautiously optimistic about the prospect of fusion energy.
