​TL;DR

​So we’ve we’ve worked out how to build fusion reactors, plug them in, and turn them on. Nuclear fusion is here - clean, abundant energy at our fingertips. This is the future, right? But what does this mean? What can we do now? What can’t we? What is still limited? What are the bottlenecks, the political implications, and the impact on society/climate? And what unexpected things can we expect from this genuinely paradigm shifting development?

​Topic overview

​Why is the topic relevant?

​Nuclear fusion is going to change the world - but how exactly? We’ve been 30 years away for 60 years, and now we’re suddenly not. Are we prepared for this brave new world that’s about to be upon us?

​What’s up for discussion?

• ​What technologies are possible in the world of fusion supremacy - DAC, desalination, space travel, new defence applications, ASI etc.?

• ​What can / will this mean for society - what is enabled, what stops existing, what are we not thinking about?

• ​Will there be winners and losers, if so, who? Does this usher in an age of utopian collaboration, or a new era of space-race style energy competition

​Dream outcome

​An audience leaving with their minds expanded, thinking bigger, who now also know much more about fusion technology than an hour before…

​Who should attend?

​Anyone with big dreams and big ideas.
