Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year 2024 to you and your loved ones! ECG is profoundly grateful for the generous support we have received this year from our donors, friends, and family; from the bottom of our hearts, we say – Thank You! Have a cozy and wonderful holiday season!
Fusion energy has gained momentum in 2023 after the successful laser-driven ignition at Lawrence Livermore Lab in December 2022.
As we look back at 2023, fusion has much to celebrate: Private and federal investment in research and development of fusion energy has increased. New fusion energy start-ups with diverse solutions are coming into the market. Fusion energy is now set to be regulated based upon the radioactivity of its waste, which identifies it as low level and places it next to producers such as nuclear medicine and particle accelerators. Major announcements from fusion companies indicate they are getting closer to deploying fusion energy to the grid within a few years instead of decades. The US and the UK entered a cooperation agreement on fusion energy in November. Then, at COP28, after the US announced its commitment to a globally inclusive fusion strategy, ECG co-founded Youth4Fusion, representing thousands of voices under 30 with fusion as the solution for the climate.
