3/3 "Energy shapes the limits of what a society can build, sustain, and imagine, and the more of it we have at our disposal, the further we can push those boundaries."

#FusionEnergy #Abundance

2/3 Unlimited energy would not only benefit the climate, it would open doors to new industries and technologies that are limited today. Ultimately, access to affordable energy allows people and societies to prosper.

2/3 "He likes to say CFS already has the script written, and now all that remains is to shoot the movie."

5/5 Fusion offers a chance to power the global economy for generations, and now the pieces are coming together. Let’s make it happen.

4/5 The Trump Administration details these steps in its new fusion roadmap. That long-term plan dovetails with fusion commercialization reports from the @scsp.bsky.social and @fusionindustry.bsky.social that show how the country should respond to China outspending the US in fusion tech.

3/5
💡 Build infrastructure like test stands and materials science research facilities.

💡 Invest in public-private partnerships like the Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program that can speed fusion progress and encourage new private capital.

2/5 We’re on the cusp of bringing this key new source of clean, affordable, essentially unlimited energy to the United States. Here’s what DOE’s new office, with the right mission and funding, can do to accelerate that fusion progress:

3/3 "If we want to secure the industries of tomorrow, fusion energy must be a national priority today.”

Chairman Babin understands the stakes too: “...it’s a race for global leadership, energy security, and economic strength.”

2/3 “America has long been the world leader in fusion energy research, other nations are investing aggressively to close the gap — and the Chinese Communist Party is positioning itself to move first toward large-scale deployment."

4/4 “You can delude yourself — being off in a corner thinking you’ve solved every issue — but there could be dozens of other problems you aren’t aware of,” said Phil Snyder, Vice President of Plasma Physics at CFS.

3/4 CFS will address subjects like handling plasma disruptions, understanding plasma stability, and managing the plasma’s hot exhaust. Sharing such research with colleagues at APS-DPP is one of the best ways that researchers at fusion energy companies can uncover and solve such plasma problems.

2/4 Those presentations are at the premier conference for tackling the deepest challenges of fusion technology, the @apsphysics.bsky.social's Division of Plasma Physics annual meeting — APS-DPP for short.

3/3 Success in milestone 3 means scoring high on a measurement called the triple product that reflects your plasma’s density, temperature, and insulation. Many fusion machines have faltered trying to get there.

2/3 Milestone 3 means building a fusion machine that approaches conditions intense enough for fusion to take place. It’s a lot harder to reach than the first two milestones. Not only must the plasma be hot, but it must stay hot on its own.

6/6 Fusion energy is within our reach. If the US government moves now, the whole country can benefit from this clean, affordable new energy source.

5/6 💡 And $3 billion for a new demonstration phase of the Milestone program for competitively awarded, cost-sharing funds that support two to three commercial demonstration fusion power plants.

4/6 💡 $2.4 billion to fully fund DOE’s existing Milestone program to support companies efforts to complete their engineering designs of their commercial power plants;
