Senator Jim Risch is a long-time champion of energy security and of diverse energy sources. Through his work on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and his leadership on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he continues to shape Congress’ approach to the energy and technology competition.

“The Commission on the Scaling of Fusion Energy offers the opportunity to further explore the potential behind fusion technology and its role in clean energy development,” said Sen. Risch. “It is an honor to be chosen as a co-chair of the commission, and I look forward to learning how our technology is progressing and how America can lead the world on fusion.”
