Forget about lousy wind power and ugly and mass animals killing wind turbine farms! Wind power is so regressive and unreliable! Or how many batteries are needed?
Is this the beginning of the energy independence of the US that the incoming President Trump is talking about? Hopefully so!
"Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a start-up founded by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said on Tuesday that it planned to build its first fusion power plant in Virginia, with the aim of generating zero-emissions electricity there in the early 2030s. ..."
"... This will mark the first time fusion power will be made available in the world at grid scale. We’ll plug 400 megawatts of steady fusion power into the state’s electrical grid starting in the early 2030s. We expect [power plant] ARC will create hundreds of jobs to build and operate the power plant. ...
This ARC plant in Virginia is the first of thousands of fusion power plants we plan to put on the grid as part of our mission to deliver fusion energy with the urgency the energy transition demands. Scaling up a new technology is hard work, but humanity has done it before when motivated by a powerful mission — the United States building airplanes in World War II and Tesla building electric cars are good examples. ..."
