Trump's Triumph: Nuclear Fusion Roadmap, the Next Breakthrough in America's 'Tech Revolution'

If the US is ever successfully to compete with China for global supremacy in the field of artificial intelligence and other technological advances, much of it will depend on the massive amounts of inexpensive, clean energy to generate the electricity required, helped by the two generous oceans on either side of the US that offer more than enough hydrogen for an endless supply.
China, in a race to displace the US as the world's leading superpower, has already invested more than $13 billion since 2023 developing fusion energy, and has exported a tokamak (a magnetic plasma confinement reactor) to Thailand.
President Donald J. Trump, farsightedly as always, and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, have seen that what is usually meant by "nuclear reactors" -- fission energy -- simply are not providing enough energy for the US to remain the world's leader in AI and technology.
Last October, less than a year into Trump's second term, Wright and his Department of Energy published a landmark report: "Fusion Science & Technology Roadmap". Whoever might be interested in this new frontier technology should download and study this groundbreaking text, the next advancement in the 21st century's "technological revolution."
