Hopefully this would mitigate the petroleum land-grab wars, which has been every war from WWI forward.
"Canada Just Fired Up the Future of Energy!
General Fusion has set a new world record — generating 600 million neutrons per second in a breakthrough for Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF)!
Their revolutionary tech?
Plasma is injected into a spinning sphere of liquid metal and compressed using steam-powered pistons to mimic the sun’s core.
This creates extreme conditions: over 100 million °C and powerful plasma confinement — proving fusion energy is closer than ever.
With the Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) aiming for breakeven by 2026, Canada is fast-tracking a future of clean, limitless, zero-carbon power.
Fusion isn’t coming. It’s here."

France tops China’s tokamak record with 22-minute plasma containment run.
France’s Commissariat à L'énergie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives on Tuesday claimed it’s topped China’s recently-established for record maintaining fusion plasma in a tokamak, and therefore taken another step towards building a fusion reactor capable of producing cheap energy.
France's WEST tokamak reactor set a new record on Feb 12, 2025, sustaining plasma for over 22 minutes. This breakthrough enhances fusion energy research, bringing us closer to stable nuclear fusion power. (cea.fr)

ITER, the world’s largest fusion experiment, is nearing completion in southern France with the arrival of its crucial magnets. These superconducting marvels, made of niobium-tin and niobium-titanium, will create a magnetic cage capable of containing plasma at temperatures up to 150 million degrees Celsius—mimicking conditions on the Sun.
