Japan's fusion energy startup plans to start power-on tests of its pilot reactor in 2027, per a Reuters report. The story is drawing familiar skepticism online, with commenters noting that fusion power has been described as '20 years away' for decades, citing similar promises from 1995, 2005, 2015, 2024 and 2025. Discussion centers on whether this project marks real progress or another cycle of overpromising.
Why now: Fusion's perennial 'two decades away' timeline makes every new commercial milestone a flashpoint for skepticism and debate
