Private companies aim to demonstrate working fusion reactors in 2025

Good news!

"Will this be the year private companies start to transform nuclear fusion from an interminable scientific puzzle into a profitable technology for producing carbon-free energy? So far, most of the dozens of efforts backed by venture capital have not gotten beyond computer predictions and small-scale prototypes.

But this year, several firms will debut large new machines that, they say, will soon coax a roiling ionized gas to fusion-friendly temperatures. In theory, these bigger testbeds could even produce more heat than they use to spark fusion—a threshold known as breakeven. ..."
