<Fusion power could be the next big thing>.
Most promising approaches as of 2020:
* <magnetic confinement fusion>
* <inertial confinement fusion>

{title=Why Private Billions Are Flowing Into Fusion by Bloomberg (2022)}
{description=
* <Joint European Torus>
* General Fusion: compress with liquid metal. Intends to demo in JET site.
* Helion Energy: direct fusion to electricity conversion without steam, direct from magnetic field movements
* First Light: shoot microscopic objct at a target to crush it so much that fusion happens
It is interesting that there are several different approaches to the problem. This feels a bit like <quantum computing>'s development at the same time, increases hope that at least one will work.
