For President Donald Trump, prioritizing a Maganomics "Manhattan Project" to produce nuclear fusion for clean energy -- before China beats the US to the finish line -- is a crucial investment, well worth making.

Among the first, most urgent, orders of business for President Donald J. Trump should be to create a Maganomics "Manhattan Project" to develop a nuclear fusion reactor superior to China's tokamak.

Communist China, which has a head-start, has just helped place a tokamak in Thailand.

This century's great clean-energy revolution is science's newest frontier: producing inexpensive, unlimited energy through nuclear fusion. It is done in containers, called tokamaks, giant nuclear reactors to make and store it. Smaller reactors "barely 3 feet across" are already being developed in the US, including one in Idaho and two in northern Nevada.

Nuclear fusion consists of heating two electrons at 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, forcing them to fuse, producing clean energy similar to the Sun's:
