Join us live for a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker with CEO of Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), Bob Mumgaard. As governments and industry seek solutions that support both climate goals and energy security, CFS is at the forefront of efforts to commercialise fusion energy – widely seen as a potential source of abundant, carbon free power. Under Mumgaard’s leadership, the company has accelerated advances in high temperature superconducting magnets and reactor design and plans to deploy the first commercial fusion power plants. Reuters Energy & Environment Correspondent Tim Gardner sits down with Mumgaard just a month after he was appointed by US President Donald Trump as one of the first members of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. They will discuss the pathway to take fusion from experimental science to a viable energy source, the role of regulation and private and government support, and how the US is competing to lead in one of the most consequential technologies of the coming decades.
