Proposed Means for the Trump Administration to Further Fusion Energy Development in the Private Sector

February 22, 2017February 17, 2016 by

We propose that the United States Government embark on a new program to incentivize the private sector to support and engage in fusion energy science, research and development leading to the successful demonstration of a controlled, sustained, net energy producing fusion reaction within ten years. Whereas the US scientific community has actively studied and experimented … Read more
