Panel: Opportunities and Challenges in Developing a Viable Workforce in the Fusion Energy Sector to Support US Manufacturing

Fusion Energy is zero carbon, safe, available 24/7 and requires hydrogen isotopes from seawater which covers 71% of the Earth’s surface. The seawater available in the earth’s oceans can provide enough energy for billions of years, so:

• Why haven’t we tapped into this energy source before?
• What are the opportunities and the challenges from a technology as well as workforce perspective?
• What do we need to do now to prepare the workforce and advance the technology?

Join this panel discussion to hear from the Associate Director of Science for Fusion Energy Sciences, Dr. Jean Paul Allain, the President of Tokomak Energy Inc., Dr. Michael Ginsberg, responsible for growing Tokamak Energy's U.S. market and strategic partnerships, along with Christian Newton, Chief of Staff for the Office of Science at the US Department of Energy as they share their views on the opportunities and challenges Nuclear Fusion will need to address in order to be viable from a technology as well as workforce perspective.
