"Helion hopes that Polaris, will generate more energy than it takes in by 2024. When that target is reached, the company plans a manufacturing facility that can produce 20 fusion generators a day ..."

That is some of the most breathtaking hubris I've ever read. Basically, "As soon as we achieve the greatest advance in energy since chlorophyll ... 30 months should do it ... we plan to quickly distribute it to the world." I dearly wish them well.

Imagine living through the political and economic disruptions if clean, appliance sized fusion generators go on sale at Home Depot. A lottery ticket seems like a safer bet but it's a nice dream.

For every 10kW they use, they’ll generate 2kW and claim they’re investing the remaining 8kW back into their company. The Uber of the power business.
Hrmm, haven't heard much about Bloom Energy lately...
Maybe first make sustainable fusion actually work first!!

This is your typical fraud startup by someone who doesn't even know what they don't know!

Hate these kinds of people!
