Helion Pushes Back Timeline for Fusion Power

Original: Helion Moves Goalpost on Fusion

Fusion startup Helion Energy is again adjusting its timeline for delivering commercial fusion power, renewing debate about its 2028 deal to supply electricity to Microsoft. Backers argue the company's Orion approach remains one of the most credible paths to grid-scale fusion, while critics say repeated delays show the milestones were unrealistic and that practical fusion power remains years, likely decades, away.

Why now: News that Helion revised its commercial fusion timeline revived scrutiny of its high-profile Microsoft power agreement and Sam Altman's backing.
