Energy storage and nuclear fusion—two reliable crowd pleasers when the crowd you’re talking about is readers of IEEE Spectrum —are well represented among our most widely read energy stories of 2023. A real corker, and the answer to the question, what generates electricity but isn’t a dynamo or a fuel cell? Number one? Heat pumps.

In 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes plunged a mercury wire into liquid helium and noticed that the wire’s electrical resistance vanished. Those high magnetic fields may one day enable nuclear fusion energy, which I wrote about recently [see “ This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape ”].

Interest in fusion energy is surging today in response to the world’s desperate need for abundant clean power. However, the standard deuterium-tritium (D-T) reaction at the core of conventional fusion reactors conceals big, long-term problems. They also produce little or no radioactive waste.

Hydrogen: Have five gigawatts of “low carbon” hydrogen production capacity by 2030 – for industry, transport, power and homes – and develop the first town heated by the gas by the end of the decade. Does this mean you will only be able to purchase an electric vehicle from 2030 onwards? Plan in detail.
