Google has signed a historic agreement with Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) —a startup backed by Breakthrough Energy, the fund of Bill Gates— to acquire 200 MW of fusion energy from its ARC plant in Virginia, scheduled for the 2030s. This agreement covers approximately half of its projected capacity and is one of the first major commercial fusion contracts, a clean and nearly limitless technology that produces minimal nuclear waste. CFS has raised over 2 billion USD and is collaborating with MIT to develop advanced superconducting magnets. Google aims to reduce emissions towards its goal of carbon neutrality by 2030.#Google
