Peter Diamandis has long championed the power of exponential technologies to create abundance, arguing in works like Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think (2012) and his ongoing blogs that converging advances in AI, robotics, renewables, and nuclear will democratize…
2025 Fusion Milestones: Startups Achieve Record Yields, Signaling End of Energy Limits
2025 has proven a pivotal year for private fusion startups, with multiple companies announcing breakthroughs in plasma performance, reactor design, and engineering milestones—pushing yields higher and timelines shorter. While no private firm has yet claimed full scientific breakeven (net energy gain),…
From Scarcity to Superabundance: Fusion and Renewables Unlock Trillions in Economic Growth
The convergence of commercial fusion and scaled renewables is poised to end energy scarcity, unleashing superabundance—a term Peter Diamandis uses to describe exponential technologies turning limited resources into near-unlimited supply. In Abundance, Diamandis argues that cheap, clean energy cascades into solving…
Solar Power Satellites and Orbital Arrays: Harvesting the Sun 24/7 for a Post-Scarcity World
Space-based solar power (SBSP)—collecting sunlight in orbit and beaming it to Earth as microwaves—promises baseload energy without intermittency, weather, or night. In geostationary orbit, panels capture ~8x more energy than ground-based equivalents, enabling 24/7 transmission. As Peter Diamandis outlines in abundance…
Fusion Ignition Repeated: Net Energy Gains Surge in 2025, Paving Way for Limitless Power
Throughout 2025, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has repeatedly achieved and surpassed fusion ignition milestones, marking a surge in reproducible net energy gains. The most notable: an April experiment yielding 8.6 MJ of fusion energy…
Private Fusion Investment Tops $10 Billion: Commercial Plants by 2030s Promise Energy Abundance
As of late 2025, global private investment in fusion energy has surpassed $10 billion, signaling unprecedented confidence in the sector’s path to commercialization. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) notes this milestone reflects growing optimism, with end-users signing early power purchase…
