Achieving safe and efficient nuclear fusion on Earth requires innovative approaches to reach the extreme temperatures needed for hydrogen particles to fuse. Bill Gates emphasizes the importance of strategic shifts in climate priorities and the need for both governmental leadership and individual action to combat climate change effectively.
