VC Money Floods Into U.S. Nuclear Startups as AI Power Demand Explodes - EUROPE SAYS

Venture capitalists are taking a major interest in nuclear energy start ups. Funding is surging for both nuclear fusion and fission firms as the technology

Paz-Soldan argues that the scientific fundamentals of fusion have largely been solved, but the remaining hurdles are engineering challenges that require sustained, coordinated federal investment. A new kind of Manhattan Project is needed, he says. Read the fulll opinion: bit.ly/4fylWyb

The US needs a new Manhattan Project for fusion energy

If we are to outpace China and own the future of this technology, we must fund it properly

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas

ITER has made the strongest magnet in the world, "capable of lifting an aircraft carrier". Guess we're due for a Carmen Sandiego heist any day now.

UK forges new radiation-resistant steel in step forward for fusion energy startups

Forging fusion-grade steel at scale marks another step towards the moonshot goal of building a commercially viable fusion reactor.

I really enjoy the science and climate community here and I would love for it to grow. If you’re still on X, why not use it to invite people to come over here? I do, every week! RT if you agree 😁

Timeline: 1820s - Fourier suggests greenhouse analogy to explain Earth’s temperature 1850s - Foote & Tyndall show CO2, CH4 & H2O are key atmospheric ingredients for greenhouse effect 1890s - Arrhenius estimates amount of warming if CO2 is doubled 1930s - Callendar observes CO2 increase & warming

An EU 90% greenhouse gas emission reduction target means massive acceleration of electrification: Share of electricity of final energy consumption increases from currently 25% to 62% in 2050. Electricity demand is 3x higher in 2050 compared to today. Source is @ec.europa.eu 🧵

🧪 As teased yesterday - there's a new world record of 69 megajoules of fusion energy, released in a single shot at the JET tokamak or Joint European Torus! euro-fusion.org/eurofusion-n...
