If I said you could get all your energy for 60 years from a bathtub of seawater and the lithium from two laptop batteries, you might think I had misplaced my marbles.
But our £600m funding for fusion is making this a reality - putting the UK at the cutting edge of clean energy.
Fusion can be an essential part of the world's future energy supply.
To help the UK remain at the forefront of fusion technology

The UK has done more than any other major economy to cut emissions whilst growing the economy too.
But we are less than 1% of global emissions. By far, our bigger contribution to this global challenge will be our ability to innovate and export solutions around the world.
Heat networks can help homes & businesses reduce their bills & carbon emissions.
As customers join a network, it's only right that they have fair pricing, compensation for power outages and easy to understand bills - all part of our consultation response!
