    Read excerpt

    While U.S. competition with China dominates discussions around artificial intelligence, rare earth metals, trade and defense, another race is quietly underway—and the winner could shape the future of energy. The prize, nuclear fusion, could be a near-limitless long-term energy source. Its fuel is mainly isotopes of hydrogen—the most common element in the universe. "We need to understand that what's actually at stake here isn't just an energy technology—it's a potential reordering of global power
