A compelling read from @nytimes, highlighting the intense global race to define the future of energy. The article does an excellent job laying out the scale of China’s clean energy acceleration— more wind and solar installed last year than the rest of the world combined, along…

Since we founded CFS in 2018, we’ve had a single mission: to get commercial fusion energy onto the grid at scale as fast as we can. Today we’re announcing major progress toward that goal: a landmark, multifaceted partnership with @Google: ⚡️Google signed an offtake agreement for…

CFS Chief Science Officer and Co-founder @BrandonSorbom offers a ground-level view of how we'll assemble the SPARC fusion machine inside Tokamak Hall. In the third video of this three-part series, Brandon shares a surprising detail on the cranes we use to handle SPARC's large…

Great to see Xcimer turn this laser on. Innovation in other fields is coming into fusion and allowing people to do things we didn't think were possible. Also, this is an example of a step-by-step tech development roadmap that puts the biggest risks up front then knocks them out…

Thanks @mariogabriele for inviting @vkhosla and me to the show to talk about fusion energy. One worthwhile part of the discussion was about the risky bets entrepreneurs make. Vinod encourages entrepreneurs to take risks even knowing they might fail. Meanwhile we at @CFS_energy…

You can see serious fusion energy efforts from space. To lead in work that’s as significant as that, you have to build things. Those things take a coordinated commitment from many stakeholders, they aren't done overnight, and software won't save you. You need to move dirt, steel,…

Fusion is hard, and no single person or even company can handle the challenges alone. It takes a network of experts from a wide spread of fields to weigh in on the critical decisions that will ultimately make the whole thing work. At CFS, we bring an open innovation mentality to…

Awesome to see this write-up. @Theteamatx always does a great job of responsibly exploring new ideas, combining basic physics knowledge, advanced simulation, and experimentation to get to the answers as fast as possible — that’s the way things should be done. In this case it…

Tammy Ma is right: Now is the time to double down on fusion research to ensure the US keeps its fusion energy leadership. Let’s not lose this the way we have other deeply geostrategic technologies. Like chipmaking today, fusion energy in coming years can be a fundamental enabler…
