Google Bets Big on Fusion: A 200MW Clean Energy Power Play
2025-07-01
Google is investing heavily in Commonwealth Fusion Systems, pre-purchasing 200 megawatts of power from its first commercial fusion plant – enough to power roughly 200,000 American homes. This signifies big tech's hunger for virtually limitless clean energy. Commonwealth aims to build the plant in Virginia by the early 2030s, utilizing a tokamak device to replicate the sun's energy through nuclear fusion. While technological hurdles remain, Google's investment significantly accelerates fusion commercialization and secures a sustainable power source for its data centers and AI operations, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
