Germany’s Proxima Fusion is developing the world’s first stellarator-based fusion power plant called Stellaris. The reactor uses powerful twisted magnetic fields to keep superhot plasma stable for continuous fusion reactions. Proxima Fusion aims to launch this next-generation fusion power plant in the 2030s.

Here's my conversation with David Kirtley (), a nuclear fusion engineer, all about the physics and engineering of nuclear fission, fusion, and the future of energy. David is leading a team that's working to build the world's first commercial fusion power plant by 2028. This was a super technical conversation and a fascinating one, for both the near-term and the long-term future of human civilization.

Fusion is coming... to Chesterfield County, Virginia. In an enormous development for CFS and for the commercialization of fusion energy, we've committed to build the world's first grid-scale fusion power plant, ARC, in Virginia. We'll independently finance, build, own, and operate this first-of-its-kind technology so we can start generating clean, carbon-free energy in the early 2030's. We'll also collaborate with Dominion Energy Virginia to help smooth ARC's path to the grid, benefitting from their development and technical expertise while helping the utility learn about fusion. Check out what this means for CFS here: #PowerMoves

Humanity stands on the threshold of a new energy era. In Hefei, eastern China, the next-generation "artificial sun" known as BEST is designed to transform fusion from a science experiment into a real-world power source. Standing for Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak, the reactor’s mission is to achieve “burning plasma,” where the fusion reaction generates its own sustaining heat. This is essential for the industry's holy grail: net energy gain. Targeting a 20 to 200 megawatt output (enough to power tens of thousands of households), BEST plans to demonstrate electricity generation by 2030. As a member of ITER—the world’s largest international fusion project in France—China contributes key components and shares research outcomes. Operating within frameworks like the “Hefei Fusion Declaration,” BEST serves as an open platform, pooling data and resources to accelerate the global transition to abundant, zero-carbon energy. This collaboration is proving that fusion is no longer just a distant dream, but a viable future solution.

Pulsar’s Sunbird programme achieved first plasma in March 2026, demonstrating initial confinement and particle acceleration using krypton. Upcoming testing will add plasma diagnostics, superconducting magnets, RF and rotating magnetic-field heating, and thrust measurements. The programme aims to advance toward aneutronic fusion propulsion while studying neutron-induced damage to reactor walls and magnets with UKAEA. Video Credit: PULSAR #engineering #technology #fusion

The reason fusion has always been 30 years away is there's a secret to it. Plasma produces it's own electromagnetic fields forming a stable plasmoid. Previous limits on confinement are now challenged and old methods like Tokamaks are obsolete. It's called Field Reversed Configuration. High Beta approach. David Kirkley of Helion Fusion explains.

Helion Energy’s Polaris became the first privately funded machine to demonstrate measurable deuterium-tritium fusion at 150M°C — 10× hotter than the Sun’s core. Not theory. Grid-scale fusion stepping toward reality. Now it’s optical diagnostics to fine-tune for power.

🚨 PLASMA FUSION + MIT MURDER + MONEY (TRUMP MEDIA+TAE) - DISCLOSURE = MONOLITH SOCIETY 💥 That is the only equation that matters VIDEO: Watch the moment that Danny Jones suddenly realises that the door to plasma fusion and energy democracy involves distorting space-time itself! THIS WEEK the missing parameter of my equation above slotted into place - when the leading plasma fusion physics mind was murdered AND a billion dollar deal tied in the leading non-Chinese plasma fusion corporate - to the US President's media organisation But as the video below will reveal, the story goes much further back - to big Nazi-US scientific secrets. We learn why the Holy grail of 'free energy' (based on aneutronic plasma fusion - no radiation risk) is the biggest factor behind why disclosure of all UFO, NHI and space-time tech is REALLY so dangerous #Trump #energy
