Google places another fusion power bet on TAE Technologies


TAE Technologies raised $150 million from investors including Google, Chevron, and others.

TAE Technologies said this week it raised another $150 million in a funding round that included investments from existing backers Google, Chevron, and New Enterprise associates.
