One big step for fusion energy; one giant leap for humankind.
STEP 1: Manufacture and test record-setting 20 Tesla high-temperature superconducting magnet… ✅
STEP 2: Assemble 18 magnets in a Tokamak ring to build the SPARC reactor with 10x energy generation.
STEP 3: Build 10,000 ARC reactors to replace coal plants in place with the carbon-free future.
STEP 4: Accelerate humanity’s relinquishment of fossil fuels, the inevitable endpoint we’d like to engineer.
As investors, Maryanna and I have been cheering Commonwealth Fusion on as they achieved this major milestone over the weekend, removing the last major engineering risk factor — an insanely powerful magnet. Prior published work by the scientific community of fusion experts agrees, if they can build it, fusion will come (https://flic.kr/p/2jMRVcr)
