Fusion is a process that merges atoms together and releases more energy than fission, which splits atoms apart.

After 60 years of research by scientists at the National Ignition Facility , or NIF , in Livermore , CA , they finally generated a reaction that produced more than it consumed.

Now the race is on to generate enough energy to consistently power a commercial fusion plant.

Commonwealth says it's the penultimate step to developing a commercial fusion power plant.

Critics say fusion power has been an ever elusive Holy Grail , always 20 to 30 years away.

But startups like Commonwealth say this time is different and technology is advancing as fast as the need for clean energy is rising.

Commonwealth: "This is not a a paper exercise for us. We're putting this machine together".
