Energy is one of the most fundamental prerequisites in the 21st century. It does everything from lighting our homes to powering our computers, but the inadvertent consequences of existing energy sources seem detrimental to our environment. But what if I tell you that we can gather practically unlimited energy, and the key towards it is staring right above us? This talk will explore the cutting-edge breakthroughs making nuclear fusion a reality, the innovative technologies reshaping nuclear energy, and why we are closer than ever to unlocking a future powered by the energy of the stars. Hi, my name is Sean. I am a student currently in Seoul Intl, and I love public speaking and debate as a whole. I started speech and debate all the way back when I was still in the start of middle school, and continued all the way throughout high school until now. I dedicated myself towards mostly debate tournaments, and earned accolades in rigorous tournaments like Oldham Cup, Oxford Schools, PWSDC, and much more. I am also currently enrolled in the SIS Forensic program for the first time as a parliamentary speaker, and won 2nd place there as well. Beyond my accomplishments however, I want to have a positive impact in TEDx and bring intriguing yet unique ideas to the table. I look forward to my experience at TEDx and wish the best for everyone that is involved in it, whether that be as a participant, audience, or a future candidate. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
