With the depletion of energy resources and global warming being considered urgent issues, nuclear fusion is expected to be a "ray of light" that will lead to a solution. To use a familiar example, the sun is burning because of nuclear fusion, and "nuclear fusion power generation" is the artificial creation of the enormous amount of energy that is generated there and use it for power generation. It has been said to be the "energy of dreams" for many years, but due to the difficulty of its realization, it has been ridiculed as "a technology that will always be 30 years away." However, now that Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates have decided to make huge investments, attention is growing, and according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the Japanese government is planning to create a new law to bring forward the time for demonstration of power generation to the 2030s, so expectations for "practical application" are increasing. Tetsuyuki Konishi, a leading researcher and CEO of Japan's first "nuclear fusion power generation startup company," says, "Japan needs to seriously develop nuclear fusion as an industry in order to domesticate energy." How many challenges are there to domestic production? How will the world change if it is realized? And what is the forefront of research? Yoichi Ochiai approaches the reality of the "sun on earth."
