China on Cusp of Commercializing US-Pioneered ‘Holy Grail’ Fusion Energy

Experts call for a $10 billion ‘kick’ in US funding or the CCP will own a ‘Kitty Hawk moment’ in mastering ‘the most consequential breakthrough of the century.’

China has spent up to $13 billion developing fusion energy since 2023 and could commercially replicate star power to generate electricity by 2030, becoming the first nation to master what’s commonly dubbed “the holy grail of energy solutions.”

Doing so would give the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) “the potential to reshape global geopolitics” and “dominate a new energy era,” Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicists warn.
