Is fusion still the holy grail—or finally within reach?


In this episode of The Climate Gap, we go inside Tokamak Energy’s S40 facility in Oxfordshire for an exclusive look at the company leading the race to deliver commercially viable fusion power.


🎙️ Host Lewis sits down with Michael Ginsberg, President of Tokamak Energy US, to discuss the physics, funding, and future of this multi-trillion-dollar clean energy bet.


🔎 Topics Covered:


  • How Tokamak Energy hit 100 million °C—the threshold for net energy output
  • Why the “triple product” matters more than Q = 1
  • How lithium could unlock the next leap in fusion performance
  • The role of AI and digital twins in optimizing plasma confinement
  • What Tokamak’s U.S. expansion signals for global energy competition
  • Why superconducting magnets are the true bottleneck
  • A rare public-private partnership with the U.S. and U.K. governments
  • 2035 vision: a full-scale fusion pilot plant, not a PowerPoint deck


📍 Whether you’re a policymaker, investor, scientist, or climate nerd—this deep dive will change how you think about fusion, capital, and climate-scale innovation.
