Fusion is nearing...and we are preparing for its welcome into the national and global energy mix. In parallel with the technological developments, we drive public education, informing political actions and the policies and budgets they determine, opening doors to public and private funding, building coalitions of climate, environmental, justice, workforce, and green energy stakeholders, and engaging regulatory and licensing frameworks. We will discuss the timeline of actions, engagements, and outreach behind fusion’s green light.
