Google invests in Massachusetts fusion plant for future power

Google has agreed to purchase 200 megawatts of power from Commonwealth Fusion Systems' (CFS) first commercial fusion plant. This deal marks a significant investment in future energy sources. The agreement with CFS, a Massachusetts-based company, aims to provide Google with a steady power supply for its data centers and AI operations. CFS plans to begin fusion energy production in the 2030s, replicating the energy of stars. This move follows Microsoft's 2023 agreement with Helion Energy for fusion energy, highlighting tech companies' growing interest in clean energy. CFS has raised over $2 billion and is backed by Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
