Channel Title: Fusion Industry Association Channel Description: The Fusion Industry Association is an international coalition of private companies working to electrify the world with fusion - the unparalleled power of the stars. Energy from fusion will provide clean power for everyone that's safe, affordable, and limitless. The Fusion Industry Association is the voice of the growing fusion industry. It supports efforts to accelerate commercially viable fusion R&D and promotes the interests of the fusion industry around the world by advocating for ways to commercialize fusion power on a time-scale that matters. And we want the world to know what fusion is too. We want to build a fusion movement so that we can all have clean energy, everywhere, forever. On this channel you will find videos about fusion energy--the science, the economics, the dream--from us and from our member companies. Subscribe to keep up to date with the whole of private fusion, and join our movement to help us achieve fusion on a timescale that matters. <video> Senator Kelly praises NRC decision to regulate fusion under byproduct materials framework Description: Clip of Senator Kelly from a hearing held by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee: https://www.youtube.com/live/qlg1kme_M6E?si=1tfZT9d0os6tASiN </video> <video> Fusion power: the global game-changer Description: Fusion energy would revolutionize the way we power our world. It is the most efficient source of energy, and is clean, safe, and virtually limitless. Fusion is the way the Sun and all of the stars in the universe generate power. However, replicating this reaction on Earth in a commercially viable way (more energy out than in) is hard. Very hard. But - thanks to breakthroughs in technology, engineering, and investment - we are closer than ever. In fact, 89% of the world’s private fusion companies expect fusion on the grid in the 2030s or before. It’s hard to overstate the benefits that commercial fusion power would bring. It can help mitigate the climate crisis, grow energy accessibility, increase geopolitical stability and security, and expand economies.
