Today, on the Conversations in Energy with Stu Turley, I had the opportunity to interview Priyanca Ford, founder of Kronos Fusion Energy, to discuss the advancements and challenges in fusion energy. She highlights Kronos' focus on developing a heat generation unit, the importance of helium-3 as a clean fuel, and the role of AI in optimizing their designs. Priyanca also touches on the global competition in fusion energy, particularly with China's progress, and emphasizes the need for sustainable, long-term energy solutions. The conversation underscores the significance of nuclear energy in achieving net zero emissions and the potential future collaborations with industry leaders like Elon Musk.We need all forms of energy to eliminate energy poverty and technological advancements sooner rather than later. Thank you, Priyanka, for stopping by the podcast and giving us the great updates from Kronos! We are looking forward to new announcements and breakthroughs. - Stu Highlights of the Podcast00:00 - Intro01:15 - ITER and Fusion Energy01:41 - Understanding Fusion vs. Fission02:36 - Origin of Kronos Fusion Energy02:56 - Path to Space Travel and Elon Musk06:05 - First Deliverable: Heat Generation Unit06:32 - Fuel Sources and Challenges08:55 - Business Model and Funding12:14 - Importance of Nuclear Energy13:45 - Collaboration and Industrial Heat15:16 - COP28 and Global Fusion Energy Strategy17:18 - Political Influence on Fusion Energy18:23 - China's Fusion Energy Progress20:03 - Motivation and Validation21:18 - Future Prospects and Partnerships22:43 - Closing Thoughts24:51 - Final RemarksCheck out Kronos S.MA.R.T.

Americans are facing the most important election in our country's great history. We can not sit on the sidelines and think someone else will fix our country's problems. Yoda said, "Do or Not, there is no try." - I say vote as your kids and grandkids' lives depend on it. In the past, we have lost faith in our elected officials and mainstream media and have started interviewing politicians for several reasons. First, I need to understand their platforms, and second, I want to get their stories out to our huge subscriber and reader base. Some of my political interviews have been with Congressman Andy Ogles, Victoria Spartz, Floyd Trujillo, and Zach Nun. I just recently met with Senator Ted Cruz at an Americans for Prosperity energy event in Dallas. A shout-out to Genevieve Collins for all of her hard work for Texas and the US. My discussion today with Trent Franks solidified my opinion that we have some good political people in office, and we have to be really careful about who we elect in this next election. I will be 100% honest with you: Trent has the background and knowledge to be a critical member of our elected officials. His expertise and past track records are exactly what we need in support of the next president. Trump will be elected, and he needs to choose his team wisely. Great men like Senator Cruz, General Flynn, and Trent will be needed to keep our country alive. Please go to https://trentfranks.com/ (https://trentfranks.com/), sign up for his updates, and donate. Thank you, Congressman Franks, for stopping by the podcast. I want to do several live updates in the next few weeks with other folks like General Flynn, Senator Cruz, and others to discuss energy security. - Stu Highlights of the Podcast00:00 - Intro01:44 - Welcoming Trent Franks02:17 - Energy Crisis and Government Intervention03:36 - Physics, Fiscal Responsibility, and Energy04:35 - Innovation and Deregulation Success06:05 - Support for Senator Ted Cruz07:14 - Support for Israel and Missile Defense09:22 - Energy Independence and US Challenges11:23 - Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and LNG13:07 - Issues with Electrification and the Gri14:16 - Donation and Contact Information15:07 - Faith and Politics16:07 - General Flynn and the Trump Administration17:45 - Critical Infrastructure Protection Act19:17 - Final Thoughts and Call to Actionhttps://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/ (https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/)
