U.S. Department of Energy unveils fusion-energy roadmap emphasising AI link
The U.S. Department of Energy released a new roadmap targeting commercial fusion-energy deployment by the mid-2030s, leveraging artificial intelligence and public-private partnerships. The plan outlines regional fusion hubs, collaboration with firms such as Nvidia and IBM for AI-modelled plasma control, and funding streams for materials R&D. However, the roadmap currently lacks clear funding commitments from Congress and carries execution risk. Energy analysts say the initiative signals long-term ambition but is unlikely to move the needle for near-term energy supply or inflation dynamics.
