Arthur Turrell: Is fusion power the energy source of the future?

"Fusion power is the energy source of the future . . . and always will be," skeptics joke. But a series of exciting breakthroughs have some experts convinced that we're nearing a fusion revolution that could deliver abundant, clean energy for the future. My guest today is Arthur Turrell, and we'll be discussing whether fusion power reactors are on the horizon, the advantages fusion may have over renewables, and what government's role should be in developing this technology.Arthur is Deputy Director at the Data Science Campus of the Office for National Statistics in the UK and the author of The Star Builders: Nuclear Fusion and the Race to Power the Planet.
