| France | nuclear: fusion
At 10 times the sun’s core temperature, nuclear fusion is challenging, but worth it as 80% of our energy still comes from fossil fuels. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in southern France is another step to making fusion commercially viable. Costing over $24 billion, the donut-shaped (tokamak) cage will produce 500 MW by 2035.
