Stellarator fusion path de-risked: W7-X validation enables engineering-first approach to commercial power by late 2030s
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator achieved full-power operation in 2022, retiring the last major physics risk (high-energy particle confinement). Proxima now pursues an engineering-first path…
European fusion sovereignty playbook: public-private capital stack with Bavarian €400M non-dilutive anchor unlocks private Series B
Bavarian government provided €400M non-dilutive capital alongside Max Planck Institute (1,200 people) and RWE, creating a de-risked ecosystem that catalyzed a €411M private round led by Eur…
Fusion must complement solar/wind to lower total system cost, not beat PV on LCOE alone
Stellaris targets 50 reactors by 2050 by being commercially compelling — not cheaper than photovoltaics, but lowering overall system cost by providing firm dispatchable power that eliminate…
