A nuclear fusion plant in Virginia?
A company pioneering the use of fusion for commercial energy plans to build the nation’s first grid-scale fusion power plant in Virginia by the early 2030s, Gov. Glenn Youngkin and other state and company officials said Tuesday.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), based in Massachusetts, said it will invest billions of dollars to build the unique facility, which — if the technology can be proved — promises to supply about 400 megawatts of electricity, enough energy to power about 150,000 homes, according to a state news release.
