The headline numbers: fusion companies spent $538 million with suppliers in 2025, up 24%, and project $681 million this year. Three quarters of surveyed suppliers invested in expanding fusion capacity in 2025, anywhere from $30k tooling upgrades to $65 million facilities.</p> <p>That&rsquo;s real money moving through a supply chain most people don&rsquo;t know exists. So I tried to map it.</p> https://nashboykin.com/posts/welcome/ Fri, 03 Jul 2026 09:00:00 -0400 https://nashboykin.com/posts/welcome/ <p>Amit Singh, CEO of NearStar Fusion, recently took the time to walk me through the world of inertial fusion versus magnetic fusion. At one point I told him that the last person I&rsquo;d told about wanting to work in fusion had laughed at me. He didn&rsquo;t laugh. Instead, he talked about working for a purpose, not a salary. That&rsquo;s stuck with me since, and it&rsquo;s got me thinking back on how I actually landed here in the first place.</p> https://nashboykin.com/about/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://nashboykin.com/about/ About Nash Boykin and Stars on Earth
