Fusion’s toughest challenge may not be physics alone, but cost learning
A new Nature Energy study argues that fusion power may not become cheap quickly even if plants are built and operated successfully, because the technology’s likely learning rate could be slow.
Key Takeaways
- A new Nature Energy study estimates fusion may have a slow cost-learning curve.
- Researchers focused on unit size, complexity, and customization as drivers of cost decline.
