Show Notes

Today, I am truly honored to have Sabina Griffith, Communication Officer at ITER (formerly the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) on the show!

In this special on-site interview, we explore the power and potential of ITER, perhaps the largest global scientific collaboration in history, poised to create technology that will allow an abundance of clean, renewable energy. Sabina brings us up to speed with how interest in fusion got started, why it stalled after the oil crisis, and why ITER is so important. Is fusion energy the key to our green, renewable future? Let's find out.

Further research:

  • ITER website — ITER project's main website, where you can book a free tour
  • Geneva Summit — the meeting between Gorbachev and President Reagan that Sabina mentions, the origin of the ITER agreement
  • ITER podcast — enjoy some exclusive interviews and understand ITER on a deeper level with this podcast
  • Andrew's TikTok & Instagram — where he will be posting some ITER behind-the-scenes glimpses and other travels around France

Mahalo & Thank you for supporting this one-of-a-kind podcast. I hope this helped you imagine what it feels like to visit ITER. More in-person interviews are coming up!

And this week's member-exclusive bonus is something a bit different: three separate 4K videos, aka. an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look from my tour of ITER!

You receive that, and all of the other aftershows, when you support this podcast on Patreon. Check out all of the bonuses available to you here →
