Opinion | Towards a nuclear fusion bubble?

After announcing that he would be embarking on Blue Origin’s first manned space flight, Jeff Bezos made a name for himself in a totally different field. The Canadian start-up General Fusion, supported by the boss of Amazon, announced on June 17 that it would build its first pilot nuclear power plant in west London. An interesting announcement in more than one way, which begins a period that could well prove to be crucial for the merger.

Nuclear fusion is a different process from the fission that powers the 56 French nuclear reactors. Reactors that provide 70% of our electricity and allow us to have one of the electricities emitting the least CO2 in the world.
