The Global Race to Commercializing Fusion Energy — With Thomas Forner

from All Things Photonics · host All Things Photonics

The global race to realize the potential of laser fusion is heating up. We’ve already seen ignition; now the question is, how do we get to commercialization? Focused Energy is working to develop Europe's first pilot plant for laser fusion by converting the former Biblis nuclear power plant into a fusion power plant. Thomas Forner, CEO and Co-Founder of Focused Energy, joins us to share details on those plans and to talk about the different paths nations are taking towards laser fusion. "All Things Photonics"® is produced by Photonics Media and airs biweekly, on Tuesdays. Sponsored by: Hamamatsu –  www.Hamamatsu.com American Elements - www.AmericanElements.com
