Fusion Industry Association Launches U.S. Strategic Priorities Document Ahead of Election
The Fusion Industry Association launched its election vision document on “Bringing Fusion Energy to the U.S. Grid”, laying out key priorities and asks ahead of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. The time for action is now. Industry and global government activity is accelerating and will not wait. The decisions made by the next President and Congress will be pivotal, determining, by the end of the President’s first term, whether the U.S. remains at the forefront of commercializing fusion energy or cedes its leadership.
The document calls for action in four critical areas of opportunity, urging:
- Increased funding in fusion research, development, and deployment
- Alignment of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) programming with commercial efforts
- Deployment of tech-neutral incentives including fusion
- An appropriate and effective regulatory regime
The FIA calls on the incoming President, Administration, and Congress to act with urgency and stands ready to support.
