[EXTERNAL] Beij ing sets up $21 bi llion national f usion energy company
Dear Secretary Wright, Director Kratsios,
I wanted to share with you my analysis of late breaking news that the Chinese Government has set up a new $21 billion USO National Fusion Energy Companythat will significantly amp up Beijing's intense focus on beating the U.S. to first on the grid at-scale fusion energy deployment.
This development combi ned with Beijing's new multibillion dollar laser ignition fa ci lity that will dwarf NIF, and a new pulsed power machine that will dwarf the Z-Machine, means Beijing is deadly serious about fusion energy and nuclear weapons testing, and is going all in in their own Manhattan-like national fusion project.
Happy to chat if you have any additional questions.
Cheers,
Jimmy Goodrich RAND (b) (6)
