Fusion Energy Goes Public: General Fusion Debuts on Nasdaq as Record $14.2B Floods the Industry

About This Episode

General Fusion began trading on the Nasdaq under ticker GFUZ on July 13, becoming the first publicly listed pure-play fusion company, and its shares soared on debut. It caps a record year in which fusion investment surged 69% to $4.48 billion, lifting cumulative funding to $14.24 billion across 56 companies now employing more than 16,000 people.

Our Take

Fusion's first public listing is a milestone for limitless energy, but once the technology meant to make power near-free answers to shareholders, the book's warning is that the market may relearn how to keep it scarce.
