GRIBBIN Could the Sun hold the key to a future of clean energy?
Since the 1950s, scientists have attempted to harness nuclear
fusion - the process that creates the Sun's energy - to generate
near-limitless amounts of electricity. But the fact that we still
have no fusion power plants is testament to the complexities of the
challenge. Now, the deepening climate crisis means that researchers
around the world are in a race to create a mini-Sun here on Earth.
The glittering prize is an energy source that emits no greenhouse
gases and could solve energy equity and supply issues at a stroke.
Sharon Ann Holgate, a former Young Professional Physicist of the
Year, tells the compelling story of the ongoing scientific quest
for a revolutionary new era of green energy production.
