Success depends on buy-in from policymakers, community members and environmentalists.
race for fusion energyIn a rapidly warming and carbon-dependent world, there's a "huge prize" for developing and commercializing fusion energy, Mike Sexsmith ofResearchers still haven't figured out how to create a sustainable and scalable fusion reaction that generates more energy than it takes to produce in the first place — thoughlast month, consultant Chris Ajemian said Washington's ecosystem positions the state exceptionally well to nurture the burgeoning fusion...
That's because of its publicly funded research laboratory, two universities, suppliers, manufacturers, utilities, international trade expertise and a local government that favors clean energy, Ajemian said.
Some opponents are also concerned that the excitement around fusion is diverting funds from more proven clean energy sources, such as wind, water and solar power, Campbell said.A thriving fusion hub in Washington depends not just on progress from the fusion companies themselves but also on buy-in from the community, environmentalists and policymakers, said Ajemian.
Plus, universities and vocational schools must step up to train fusion workers, he added, while public and private investment has to keep flowing into the sector.Share on linkedin
