I’m Ylli Bajraktari, CEO of the Special Competitive Studies Project, back with another edition of Memos to the President. In today's episode of Memos to the President, I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. JP Allain, Associate Director for Fusion Energy Sciences at the Department of Energy. We discussed the future of fusion energy, and the benefits that a 'moonshot' program could have to jump start plans to have the fusion ecosystem running in the 2030's. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
