Weeks after the Trump Media and Technology Group announced a merger with nuclear energy company TAE Technologies, the new group has unveiled plans for a fusion plant in the US — aiming to make it the largest energy era web site in the world.
On Tuesday morning, the company unveiled standards for choosing the building web site of the new project. CEO Devin Nunes tells me they are accepting functions from state and native governments — much like Amazon HQ did — and will make a determination within weeks, with construction to start later this yr.
And Nunes is clear about one factor: “We’re only going to be building this in a red state.”

This would be the first of its type industrial fusion electric plant in the US and would, Nunes, notes allow America to compete with nations like China that have access to nearly limitless power.
“This is a long-term solution,” Nunes said.
Application necessities embrace a minimal of 20 acres to home a number of fusion reactors, as effectively abillity to distribute power on a grid, proximity to a metropolitan space with expertise and support from native and state authorities, as effectively as the skill to preserve a security presence.

“The TMTG team is actively holding discussions with multiple states and entities about potential sites as we look forward to completing this merger,” Nunes said in a assertion. “These are the initial steps to spark a renaissance in American energy to secure safe, clean, abundant, and affordable fusion power that will lower Americans’ energy bills and guarantee America’s predominant position in the A.I. revolution.”
The search for a web site comes just weeks after Trump Media announced an all-stock billion merger with TAE valued at $6 billion. The deal, which is expected to close in mid 2026, would create one of the first publicly traded fusion corporations.
While Trump Media owns practically $3 billion in Bitcoin, its social media platform Truth Social generates minimal income. TAE has acquired more than $1.3 billion from corporations including Chevron, Google and Goldman Sachs.
