LIVESTREAM EVENT: Advancing the Bold Decadal Vision for Fusion

In March 2022, the White House held a Fusion Summit that laid out a Bold Decadal Vision for Commercial Fusion Energy. One of five priorities in the White House Net-Zero Game Changers Initiative, commercial fusion energy has the potential to deliver abundant, clean, reliable electricity and many other benefits. With strong support from Congress and the Biden-Harris Administration, the Department of Energy (DOE) is following through on this vision with bold steps forward in our support for fusion energy science and technology.

Please join Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) Director Arati Prabhakar, DOE Under Secretary for Science and Innovation Geraldine Richmond, and DOE Office of Science Director Asmeret Asefaw Berhe as we announce the first selections for the new Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program. This innovative new public-private partnership brings together the vibrant U.S. fusion private sector community and the nation’s solutions department to resolve key scientific and technological challenges that must be overcome to realize fusion pilot plants in the next decade.
