Fusion is the process that powers the Sun and the stars and is the primary source of energy in the Universe. It is an inexhaustible, CO2 free source of energy, which generates no long-lived radioactive waste and is intrinsically safe. Fusion energy is on the brink of commercialization worldwide. This lecture will discuss the historical development of fusion energy, give a status of worldwide activities, and describe plans for fusion energy development in Canada and the associated opportunities for universities, research institutes and industry.
