"Nuclear Fusion: Kerry's Address and Italian Scientists' Bid to Revolutionize Energy"

US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry announced that he will present a new global strategy for fusion energy at the COP28 conference in Dubai. Kerry's address will signal the US's aim to restore its leadership position in international fusion research and reflect the need for more effective cooperation between states and public-private partnerships. The implications of Kerry's initiative go beyond fusion energy, as it promises to redefine the issue of reducing CO2 emissions and could potentially change the global warming campaign. Fusion energy is seen as a solution that embodies the upward vector of human civilization and offers an alternative to economic austerity measures associated with reducing CO2 emissions. The US fusion sector has suffered from budget cuts since the 1980s, but private fusion companies have gained momentum with significant investments. Kerry's fusion initiative is the result of a transformation in the philosophy and organization of fusion research in the US, which has shifted towards a diverse research ecosystem.
