Fusion breakthrough a magic bullet for energy crisis?

Sceptics and environmentalists may be locked into endless arguments around global warming, but there’s little debate that an energy crisis looms large.

A Florida based research team, however, may have found a solution to the world’s energy woes that could provide a clean and near limitless supply of energy in as little as a decade.

Global energy production and consumption is a complex beast and many nations remain heavily reliant on a lethal mix of oil and coal, both of which are finite, and have huge impacts on the environment.

While there is much conjecture on just how long oil and coal reserves will last, the stark reality is that they will both eventually run out.
