Commercial fusion energy is predicted by 2040.

Abstract

Tier 1+ Pass-1. 5 paper 10 of 45. ITU-derived energy + materials on source + storage + grid + efficiency + carbon. Defines Kₑnergy = -log ρₑnergy as the operator-algebraic modular Hamiltonian on Hₛource ⊗ Hₛtorage ⊗ Hgrid ⊗ Hₑfficiency ⊗ Hcarbon. Kₑnergy inherits from KQG via the CLPW 2023 type II crossed-product specialised to this scale. Numerical results. Solar PV LCOE drop 90% 2010-2024, lithium-ion battery /kWh declining, fusion ITER 2025+ first plasma delayed. Topics covered. Solar/wind/nuclear/fusion, IEA WEO 2024, ITER first plasma delayed, lithium-ion Goodenough Nobel 2019, EV transition. 45-vertex polytope #10 top couplings: #10 Kclimate (0. 92), #11 Kclimate (0. 85), #14 Comm (0. 85). Ten falsifiable predictions: Pₐvg=0. 65: arXiv 2026 (0. 90 S), Net-zero G7 by 2050 (0. 55 M), Fusion commercial 2040 (0. 45 W).
