Commonwealth Fusion Systems (Cfs), with strategic investment from Eni, is seeking sites in the US to develop commercial nuclear fusion plants expected to launch in the early 2030s. The nuclear fusion sector has attracted $10 billion in investment worldwide, with Cfs alone raising nearly $3 billion.

The technology aims to replicate solar energy production without chain reactions. The white paper from Cfs calls for US states to create favorable conditions, including funding mechanisms and open licensing registers. Virginia's Chesterfield County is identified as a key site for the first Arc fusion plant, projected to generate significant industrial investments.
