The United States of America has deployed the powerful tool of the Inflation Reduction Act to stimulate decarbonization investments, support all low carbon technologies and prioritize homemade technological leadership.
Europeans now agree on the need to foster their trade and industrial policies as showcased through the European Commission's priorities. The timing is opportune as the EU faced a substantial trade balance deficit, sees an increasing reliance on imports for low carbon technologies, equipment and raw materials, alongside energy resources, existential challenges for energy-intensive industries, and insufficient investment in the electricity sector.
Investment booster on one side of the Atlantic, regulatory incentives sticks on the other, possibly coupled with all-out national subsidies for those who can afford it? Is the EU fit for the industrial dimension of the Green Deal and systemic global rivalries? What are the risks and opportunities, especially related to the electricity market design and the critical raw materials act, trade policy and support measures for low carbon technologies?

Is Fusion Coming Faster and Cheaper than Expected?
ITER was for long time the embodiment of fusion as an international, long standing R&D cooperation objective to seek a new way to produce safe, low carbon and abundant low carbon electricity. Yet over past years, fusion start ups, several governments and investors have decided to push fusion R&D and deployment to complement ITER. Major efforts are ongoing notably in the United States, China, Germany, Italy.
