Commonwealth Fusion Systems has moved beyond the chalkboard. They are shifting fusion from the lab to the factory. With $3B in funding and a digital twin accelerating development, the race for commercial fusion has shifted from physics labs to industrial reality.

Fusion energy crossed a critical threshold in 2025. What was once experimental plasma science is rapidly becoming industrial infrastructure. As technology developed, it became a race to reveal which technologies are truly ready to plug into the grid and which will define the future of clean baseload power.
