Japan's $400M experimental fusion stellarators aim steady 2030s power
"Japan is speedrunning the sun so we can finally power the compute clusters."
Explain Like I'm Normal
The Japanese government is injecting $400 million into private fusion energy projects to achieve steady power generation by the 2030s. Since AGI's biggest bottleneck is energy consumption, solving the fusion riddle is effectively a prerequisite for sustainable superintelligence. The funding will support diverse technical approaches including stellarators and laser fusion.
