Former president backed technology that this week achieved 'net energy gain' for the first time, generating more energy from nuclear fusion than was put in.
, the Trump presidency also invested large amounts of money in the burgeoning technology. The 2021 budget proposal by the Trump administration allocated $1.2 billion for"nuclear energy research and development and related programs," the Verge reported in 2020.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump, left, leaves the stage after speaking during an event at his Mar-a-Lago home on November 15, 2022 in Palm Beach, Florida. His administration backed funding for nuclear fusion.Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun. While traditional nuclear energy involves fission, or the splitting of heavy elements like uranium, to generate energy, fusion is the collision of hydrogen nuclei at high speeds fusing to form a helium atom.
This led to fears the project would be delayed. The U.S. eventually reversed this budget cut, and in 2021, it was announced that America would continue to fund ITER for a further decade.
