What does it show?
Fusion power received 92% as many Wikipedia pageviews as nuclear power.
Methodology
Compare calendar-2025 English Wikipedia user pageviews for Solar power, Nuclear power, and Fusion power with Ember's 2025 global electricity generation for solar and nuclear. Fusion is shown as zero because it has no category in the commercial generation dataset, not as a scientific claim about experimental energy output. Pageviews and TWh are presented in separate panels; attention per TWh is not calculated because fusion's denominator is zero. What this isn't: Nuclear generated 2,811 TWh; fusion is not represented in Ember's commercial generation categories.
