- Fusion power releases no carbon dioxide, and the only byproduct is helium which is harmless
- The fuel for fusion power is derived from water, which is abundant
- General Fusion Inc.’s fusion reactor doesn’t need state-of-the-art lasers or football-field-sized facilities like government- funded fusion reactions making it economical and scalable
- General Fusion plans to outpace government-funded fusion reactors, which will only start experimenting by 2025
- Organizational Stakeholders
- General Fusion Inc.
- Investors
- e. Amazon Inc.
- The Energy Industry
- Implementation
- Michel Laberge spent a couple of years developing the idea of a new fusion reactor of through a small prototype and founded General Fusion in 2001
- General Fusion Inc. displayed the small prototype and acquired investments from venture capitalists to continue research on the fusion reactor
- For the next phase, General Fusion Inc. is looking to construct a full-scale prototype system to test sooner than that of government-funded fusion reactor prototypes, which are looking to test b y 2025
