Laser Fusion Power Plants: Longview aims to build the world's first laser fusion power plants. These power plants will utilize technology achieved at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), which demonstrated fusion energy gain, meaning they produce more energy than is required to initiate the fusion reaction. Longview's power plants will replicate the conditions created at NIF using modern, efficient lasers and patented designs to deliver a consistent and substantial supply of clean energy.
