This is only the beginning.
se exciting results come the same week as the DOE deciding on which fusion developers to award a $50 million grant to build a 50 megawatt fusion plant,The goal is "hopefully to enable a fusion pilot to operate in the early 2030s," a senior DOE official told the publication.
It's the first pilot of its kind and could push US companies to invest in developing technologies that could realize the dream of having fusion reactors powering the grid. At least 15 companies are seeking the grant, but it's unclear how many of them will be awarded funds.Despite the most recent breakthrough, scientists still have a lot of work ahead of them. For one, they will have to figure out the feasibility and scalability of systems like the one being used at Livermore.
Then there's the fact that the funding is very modest, according to experts, especially in light of high expectations from lawmakers. Republicans also are about to take control of the House could also make it a lot more difficult for DOE to make federal funding available. Republican lawmakers haveLivermore's breakthrough experiment has proven that there's still plenty of enthusiasm and optimism about the idea of powering the grid with fusion reactors.
