Wait till you find out how nuclear fusion makes electricity
You mean, how it will in 20 years?
Perpetually so
Helion's approach is actually different. They are attempting to capture energy directly through induction. I hope it pans out for them, seems like a really interesting approach.
That seems inefficient
Here's a video I saw a few months back you might find interesting:

There's actually two (at least that I know of) ways for fusion to generate electricity, this is a newer one https://youtu.be/uRaQLZaaHWo?si=DTwV26inm1pyrYn8
Don't leave us ice cold.
