ABOUT GOOD CLEAN ENERGY
Good Clean Energy is a podcast about tackling one of the most existential questions of our time: how to build a world with abundant, affordable, carbon-free electricity. TAE has deep conversations with experts ranging from scientists to innovators to changemakers about the challenges our current electricity systems face and updates on the race for game-changing, clean ways to power our lives.
Key Takeaways:
- Getting to clean, abundant energy for all will take an “all-of-the-above” approach when it comes to technology.
- The International Space Station is still worth it for the science, the engineering and the foreign affairs aspects, Virts said.
- Solving the challenges of getting to Mars will help push all science forward.
ABOUT TAE TECHNOLOGIES
TAE Technologies (pronounced T-A-E) was founded in 1998 to develop commercial fusion power with the cleanest environmental profile. The company’s pioneering work represents the fastest, most practical, and economically competitive solution to bring abundant clean energy to the grid.
With more than 2,300 patents filed globally and approximately 1,400 granted, more than $1.2 billion in private capital raised, five generations of National Laboratory-scale devices built along with two more in development, and an experienced team of over 600 employees, TAE is now on the cusp of delivering this transformational energy source capable of sustaining the planet for thousands of years. The company’s revolutionary technologies have produced a robust portfolio of commercial innovations in large adjacent markets such as power management, energy storage, electric mobility, fast charging, life sciences, and more. TAE is based in California, and maintains international offices in the UK, EU, and Switzerland. Multidisciplinary and mission-driven by nature, TAE is leveraging proprietary science and engineering to create a bright future.
