“If we break this code — if we are able to deliver fusion energy to the world, we have changed the world,” said U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Rick Perry in his address to hundreds of scientists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Thursday.
Researchers at the lab have been working for years on nuclear fusion — a process that produces energy by tightly squeezing hydrogen atoms together to make helium atoms. But it’s expensive.
After his tour of the facility in Plainsboro, New Jersey, Perry said he welcomes recent commercial interest in fusion technology to make the clean energy source a reality.
