Fusion Faces a Harsh Reality: Why Natural Gas Remains the Backbone of Power Reliability
Source: Helion Energy Exceptional materials degradation caused by large quantities of fusion neutrons is one of the single largest factors limiting the economics and safety of fusion energy. Despite massive R&D momentum, including the Department of Energy’s roadmap targeting deployment in the 2030s, fusion remains a distant prospect rather than a near-term solution. The challenge lies not just in achieving sustained fusion reactions, but in withstanding them. The bombardment
