America is entering a new era of energy demand, and the need for abundant, reliable, and affordable power is growing faster than our current system can accommodate.

Meeting that demand will require both scaling the technologies we have today and investing in the breakthroughs that could define the future, and few technologies hold more promise than fusion.

The question facing fusion is no longer whether the science can work. It is who will be first to unleash it, because the country that wins that race will determine the future of global power itself.  

America has the opportunity to lead the world into an era of energy abundance, but only if researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers move with the urgency the moment demands.

That effort is the story we set out to tell in IGNITION: The Future of Fusion. Featuring companies including Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Zap Energy, Xcimer, and Type One Energy, the film explores the people and technologies working to unlock what could become one of the most transformative energy sources in human history. It is a story about innovation, perseverance, and the race to build the energy systems of the future.

Take a few minutes to meet the people at the forefront of fusion, learn why the technology is so important, and how a breakthrough once confined to science fiction is moving closer to reality.
