Okay y’all this is a huge deal and it was very exciting to witness the leadership of U.S. Department of Energy, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and NNSA announce the news BUT let’s hear it for this panel of National Ignition Facility staff who collectively represent 100s of scientists responsible for making this discovery

Aaand the President's budget request is live, and it includes $1 billion for fusion energy research. This is notable, considering last year's budget request was ~25% lower.

Every day is fusion day in my job but today really was an officially official fusion day! Thanks to orgs like Fusion Industry Association for convening a fun group of nerds, I enjoyed chatting in the sunshine for a bit ⚛️

Investing in R&D is so important for our clean energy future. This one will always hold a special place in my heart because I watched the House floor as it passed, logged off, and then had a baby the next morning. Just in time for recess!

This is a great development for U.S. Department of Energy & partners working on adv. clean energy solutions. The Energy Act of 2020 authorized this kind of contracting in Dec 2020, around the same time as this Kairos Power award. Kudos to the teams who spent the past few years working on this!
