"You can provide enough fuel to power the entire fusion power plant for its entire lifetime … just sitting there from day one, which really changes how you think of energy security.”
– That's CFS Chief Science Officer and Co-founder @BrandonSorbom on What’s Next with Philip Meissner, discussing the history of fusion energy, our progress building our SPARC fusion machine, and fusion energy’s potential to dramatically transform energy politics.
Fusion energy offers a clean, steady, and abundant energy source can be built just about anywhere, including places that rely on pipelines and tanker ships today. When we use SPARC to demonstrate Q>1 — net fusion energy, which means the fusion plasma generates more power than is used to heat it — then fusion energy will be a big step closer to fulfilling that promise.
Says Brandon: “There are a lot of places, especially island nations, that are dependent on importing fuel from somewhere else, and I think those countries would be very happy to not have to do that.”
