Europas erster Konzeptentwurf für ein kommerzielles Fusionskraftwerk wurde diese Woche von der deutschen Firma Gauss vorgestellt. Der 1.000-seitige Bericht wurde von Hunderten europäischen Spezialisten mitverfasst. Gauss stellt sich einen „Eurofighter for Fusion“ vor – ein europaweites Programm zur Sicherung der Energiesouveränität bis in die 2040er Jahre

Please dont include the French, please dont include the French

*This step is crucial to shift from fusion research to reality. Comprising over one thousand pages of technical detail, the CDR addresses all critical systems required to build the first fusion power plant – from overall architecture, design basis, and design concept, to safety framework, qualification strategy, system engineering, lifecycle operations and radioactive waste considerations, among others.*

*This exercise results in €15-18 billion to bring the first-of-a-kind commercial fusion reactor by mid-2040s.*

Is the Gauss planning a financing round or an IPO? Otherwise, I don’t quite understand the news value here. Is this more than a start-up business plan and a stylish marketing brochures, or is there anything tangible?

Energy sovereignty would be an absolute geopolitical game changer for the EU. This should be (and should have been) one of the top priorities to implement for the EU. ITER is taking way too long. We need some real progress asap.

Yes, please. This is the future

Blablabla just like every other company that promised fusion power before 20xx, this is just another cash grab intended to attract and scam investors before closing the company.

There is no private company that can come up with commercially viable fusion reactors. It’s something that can only exist at state-level.

I’m guessing they are going for magnetic cooling and not monster cooling
