It is really funny and amusing to me the type of demands and attitudes I often encounter (to the later/immediate dismissals shortly thereafter) that upon first hearing about #CTPEnergy: the majority of persons so quick to dismiss me/CTP... demand or expect I already have fully functional and working zero-point energy generators, indeed, up to and including fully operational FTL capable #UFOs/#CTPcraft (without any #funding, #capital, or #investor support to present date) all while after 30 years odd later we still do NOT have commercially operating #fusion or #coldfusion systems for public use and public utility already deployed.

Big moves in clean energy! Pacific Fusion just blew the doors off the funding game with a staggering $900 million Series A—led by none other than General Catalyst. This isn't just another startup; this is fusion energy—the holy grail of sustainable power. Co-founders Eric L., Will Regan, and Keith LeChien have stacked the deck with a team that reads like the Avengers of nuclear fusion, pulling talent from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, ARPA-E, and Sandia National Laboratories. Yeah, they're serious! What makes this round extra slick? It’s milestone-based. This is money with a mission—capital unlocked as they hit key targets, keeping things sharp, and ensuring progress is real, not hype. Pacific Fusion’s pulsed magnetic fusion approach is not only built on proven science but also strategically aligned with some of the biggest breakthroughs in fusion tech. General Catalyst said it best: "We had doubts... until we met this team." With a focus on modular, fast-iterating designs and a goal to outpace traditional fusion methods, these guys are pushing the boundaries—and their approach just might be the game-changer the energy sector has been chasing. With this capital infusion, Pacific Fusion is primed to turn sci-fi into reality. Clean, limitless energy might just be closer than we think. Congrats to the team on securing this milestone, and here’s to a future powered by fusion. #CleanTech #CleanEnergy #FusionEnergy #FusionTech #VentureCapital #StartupFunding #BigAssSeriesA #TechEcosystem #Innovation #Technology #ForwardProgress

Fusion energy science has made remarkable progress in recent years, with advancements such as the use of hyper-responsive AI to sustain plasma. Numerous startups have emerged, raising hundreds of millions in private equity to bring commercial-scale fusion power plants closer to reality. However, many of the key breakthroughs in plasma physics and reactor engineering are still mostly driven by public funding. To accelerate the development of this game-changing technology, this article offers valuable insights into how public programs can be managed at the political level to speed up progress. It’s a fascinating read for anyone interested in the future of energy. A Public Path to Building a Star on Earth

An interesting read. Something I recommend everyone start to get a small idea about in order to understand the problems we face on this planet. The continual thirst for energy will require significant development in this area. The reality is that renewables will not be enough on their own. Nuclear and / or fusion will have to make up some of this. #Technology #EnergyConsumption #Fusion
