This historic move follows new federal rules allowing states to regulate fusion tech — defined as machines that fuse atomic nuclei and capture energy directly — unlike traditional fission plants. Fusion promises clean, meltdown-free power using hydrogen isotopes, producing only helium and minimal waste, making it ideal for high-demand sectors like data centers. Despite challenges around cost, safety, and geopolitical concerns, Type One’s stellarator design — backed by Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy — aims for a 400-megawatt commercial reactor. Construction could begin this year at a former fossil fuel site in Clinton, partnering with TVA and Oak Ridge National Lab — a milestone that could reshape America’s energy future.
