Founded in 1998 to develop commercial fusion power with the cleanest environmental profile, TAE’s 5th-generation platform combines proprietary power management technology to advance its efficient accelerator beam-driven hydrogen-boron fusion. A sixth-generation platform is targeted to bring clean, abundant energy to the power grid in the 2030’s. I was hired in May of 2022 to write an engaging ‘active graphics’-based Energy Equity Report, ideally worldwide in scope with biennial updates to position TAE as a leader in characterizing and working to improve the long-standing ‘rich country polluter/poor country victim’ gap made worse by climate change. The project ended prematurely in late July due to shifting priorities and severe data licensing restrictions required by the International Energy Agency.
