Energy company Helion is inching closer to its goal of firing up the world's first fusion reactor to produce usable electricity. It's currently considering a property in the city of Malaga, Washington, to set up a 50-MW facility and power Microsoft's data centers.

    When last I heard, the record for a self-sustaining fusion reaction was 22 minutes. Either they’re expecting a very, very long time to get anywhere close to starting construction, or they know something (which I’d be interested to hear about).
