An Act relative to fusion energy
This bill adds fusion energy to the list of alternative energy sources recognized by Massachusetts state law. It directly affects the state's legal framework by amending existing statutes to include fusion alongside other renewable options like geothermal energy. The legislation defines fusion energy as the process where light atomic nuclei combine to form heavier ones and ensures this technology is treated similarly to hydroelectric power in regulatory contexts. By making these specific text changes, the bill formally acknowledges fusion as a valid category for energy planning and development within the state.
