Whether or not they have a viable technology, I think it's telling that a company based in California is looking outside the state to build it's first plant.

This was apparently a condition imposed on them by the Trump Media & Technology Group.

Weeks after the Trump Media and Technology Group announced a merger with nuclear power company TAE Technologies, the new organization has unveiled plans for a fusion plant in the US — aiming to make it the biggest power generation site in the world.
On Tuesday morning, the company unveiled criteria for selecting the building site of the new project. CEO Devin Nunes tells me they are accepting applications from state and local governments — much like Amazon HQ did — and will make a decision within weeks, with construction to begin later this year.
And Nunes is clear about one thing: “We’re only going to be building this in a red state.”
Also, TEA has received $200M from Trump Media & Technology Group, so it looks like the merger is going through.

First, all the manufacturing is in "red" states these days, especially these AI data centers that are the source of all the additional demand for power.
Second, why on Earth would you build something like this in a "blue" state given all the out of control regulation (state and local level) as well as the leftist lunacy we're seeing in places like Seattle and NYC? We're talking substantial capital investments with lengthy ROI payback periods. Seriously. There is enough conventional risk in the form of technology and market risk. Who needs the additional risk of leftist political lunacy?
