Helion Energy got funding for possible breakeven fusion device this year

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com, by brian wang

Helion's commercial strategy is to build fusion reactors in Washington, with capacity of about 50 megawatts, and deploy them at industrial facilities.

Helion Energy is building the latest in a series of prototype generators. They are building full-scale, break-even-or-better that is to be ready in 2018. They have raised enough capital to get it through that stage, Kirtley says, and April, 2018 brought on its 24th employee.
They are targeting generating power at 4 cents per kilowatt-hour.
