SB 80: Energy: Fusion Research and Development Innovation Initiative.

The state energy resources conservation and development commission would establish a fusion research and development innovation initiative to accelerate the development and growth of fusion energy. The commission would administer the initiative and provide financial incentives for projects that advance research and development into fusion energy, accelerate the deployment of new technology capabilities, or achieve the goal of delivering the world's first fusion energy pilot project by the 2040s. The initiative's provisions would be contingent upon a legislative appropriation and would be repealed on January 1, 2028.
