China’s fusion nuclear reactor will not crash power grid in world first. A research team in China said that they have designed the world’s first power plant to be completed in 2035 that can turn fusion energy into electricity without bringing the power grid down.

Nuclear fission—the process of splitting atomic nuclei to generate energy—isn’t the only form of clean energy tech companies are banking on to meet their electricity needs. In this sidebar, we show how they’re also making big investments in geothermal, wind and solar. One of the most tantalizing potential sources of energy is nuclear fusion, which involves mimicking the inner workings of stars to meld atomic nuclei together. OpenAI’s Sam Altman, among others, has poured money into one fusion startup. But that technology still has a ways to go before it’s viable.

Nuclear isn’t the only source of carbon-free power that has energized the tech industry. For years, solar and wind have been mainstays for tech companies looking to reduce the greenhouse gases emitted by their data centers and other operations. The tech industry is also forming partnerships to ...

From Fusion to Geothermal, Tech’s Clean Energy Bets Are Multiplying

Hope so, but been hearing “10 years away” for multiple decades

Has the proposed  “‘Heat sink’ filled with molten salt” actually worked?  Article is paywalled for me
