First Fusion Power Plant Coming Online Soon?
Did I miss something about fusion actually being tenable? It's perpetually been 20 years in the future. This is big news if it pans out.
The engineering problems are two fold: one is containing the extremely hot plasma field and, two, generating more power than it consumes. But the folks at MIT think they've got it cracked.
The prototype plant, called SPARC, is expected to generate fusion power by 2026 with the main plant, ARC, coming online in the early 2030s generating 400 Mw.
