After many years dedicated to fusion, both in Spain and as director of ITER in France for over a decade, he believes in fusion because he considers it has incredible capacity. “With fusion we will be able to provide energy to humanity for thousands, millions of years”, he assures. Regarding fission, current nuclear power plants and energy transition, he considers that “we should certainly foster renewable energies, but at the world level I do not believe we can manage without nuclear energy if what we really want is to reduce the production of CO2 into the atmosphere in a short time.”
