Helion close to igniting world’s 1st nuclear fusion power plant in US

This company (coincidentally based out of the same city as OceanGate
) already have a contract to provide Microsoft with 50MW of Fusion derived electricity. A site for this plant has now been announced. Seems... early.The site is located adjacent to a hydropower plant which I assume is where they'll get their electricity to run the plant. If they're successful then presumably they'll use those same connections to deliver energy (I'm not an electrical infrastructure engineer don't @ me).
They present like a Silicon Valley startup and I'm convinced they will fail but would be happy to lose that bet. They probably have a scheme set up to just milk more investor money for a while to buy electricity for Microsoft if they can't deliver on the actual fusion part.
