In this podcast with Lex Fridman, Sam Altsman discusses the potential for nuclear fusion as a solution to the energy puzzle. Altsman believes that with nuclear fusion, the cost of compute could be significantly reduced, making it practical for everyday use. He suggests that the world will soon demand a large amount of compute, but the energy aspect is the most challenging. Altsman believes that nuclear fusion could be the key to solving this problem. #nuclearfusion #energypuzzle #computecost #computedemand #energyefficiency

Developing more energy-efficient hardware or using renewable energy sources can be a game changer.

and Avalanche Energy — as well as ExoFusion and Kyoto Fusioneering, which are focused on commercializing fusion technology. Last year, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California achieved a key milestone in fusion, creating more energy than went into generating the reaction, which is also known as ignition. Last month, that team was able to reach breakeven, but not quite hit ignition once again. Fusion is different from fission — which is the splitting of atoms and the reaction that powers existing nuclear power plants. Fusion doesn’t create the same sort of radioactive waste as fission or pose similar meltdown risks.  

Powerful illustration of why the discussion about fission and fusion is so important. Comparing the amount of energy (megajoules) per kilogram for different fuel types shows that nuclear reactions generate an enormous amount of energy —nearly 1.8 million times the energy from burning gasoline.

Part 4: The Power of Nuclear Fusion The fusion dream is within reach! 🌌 How do you see fusion shaping our world? Join the conversation, share your insights, and stay tuned for more. Let's champion a future of clean, limitless energy together!

The promise of nuclear fusion – carbon-free energy, forever – could revolutionise how energy is produced on earth. But what is nuclear fusion? And will it ever be ready? Watch the latest film in our Now & Next series with The Economist:

Nuclear Energy, "This is about an intergenerational choice for the long-term best future for Australia," according to Dr Adi Paterson, Principal and Founder of Siyeva Consulting and former Chief Executive Officer of ANSTO in our recent podcast, and today brought forward by The Hon. Peter Dutton MP, Leader of the Opposition and Liberal Party of Australia. This is a powerful discussion at a time when it would seem the nation is calling for a re-evaluation of the energy policies in play. Perhaps Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Australian Labor Party will consider these calls for greater discussion and the significant change in public opinion and address why nuclear in an energy mix is off the table.
