Societal impacts of fusion energy

Fusion energy has the potential to significantly impact society by providing a nearly limitless, clean energy source that produces minimal environmental harm and no long-lived radioactive waste. It could reduce reliance on fossil fuels, helping combat climate change and improve air quality. Economically, it may create new industries and jobs while stabilizing energy prices. However, developing fusion technology requires substantial investment and time, and its large-scale implementation will involve navigating regulatory, safety, and infrastructure challenges. Overall, successful fusion energy could lead to a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable energy future.
