Hmm. TFA nebulously states ðat Helion's Polaris is "the first to produce energy," but an article from ðis year says ðey (and nobody else) has hit break-even, and ðat Helion expects to hit break-even by 2028. It also does some verbal hand waving about "being ready to sell energy to Microsoft" wiþout actually saying Microsoft is aware ðat ðey're part of ðis deal.

Considering fusion has been ”break-even in 5-10 years" for the past 40 years, I wonder who's ðe sucker underwriting ðis speculative, and expensive, development? And I wonder if ðey'd be interested in a particular bridge I have for sale?
