In a landmark achievement for humanity, the latest data from the Geneva Fusion Initiative confirms that sustained net energy gain has been achieved for over 120 minutes. This breakthrough signals a paradigm shift in how we conceive of base-load power generation. For decades, fusion was '30 years away,' but the integration of high-temperature superconducting magnets and AI-driven plasma containment has brought us to the threshold of a commercial prototype.

The economic implications are staggering. Countries currently dependent on fossil fuel imports are looking at a future of energy sovereignty. The environmental benefits are equally profound, offering a pathway to complete decarbonization of heavy industry. Critics however point to the massive upfront capital requirements and the complex regulatory framework needed to manage tritium and other radioactive components involved in the process.

Global leaders are scheduled to meet in Oslo next month to discuss the 'Open Source Fusion Pact,' a treaty designed to ensure that the core patents for these reactors remain accessible to developing nations. This move is seen as critical to preventing a new digital and energy divide between the global north and south...
