Fusion at the Copenhagen climate summit | 16/12/2009
Former UK Government Chief Scientist Sir David King yesterday addressed an event at the UN Climate Change Conference at Copenhagen on the potential of fusion energy.
As delegates from around the world negotiate a climate agreement, attention is also focused on new technologies that can be deployed to create a low-carbon economy. Sir David King spoke at a European Union meeting on EU research initiatives involving low-carbon energy technologies, including the ITER fusion project.
Sir David King has been an advocate of fusion for some time, having chaired a review of the international research and development programme which confirmed the feasibility of energy production from fusion.
