The scientists used lasers to fuse two light atoms into a single one, releasing 3.15MJ (megajoules) of energy from 2.05MJ of input – roughly enough to boil a kettle.

Why do we even study this? Renewables are the only way. This is a waste of money which is a finite resource.

    So 1. This is newable. Green, almost waste free, and unlimited.

    If we can refine fusion, we will stop global warming and energy insecurity, virtually overnight.

    It’s not a waste to invest in clean tech R&D. At one point, people said the same thing about solar, and look where we are now

    Why do you have multiple post of breakthroughs in nuclear tech with negative criticism?

    In fact multiple posts appearing to concern troll renewables with statements like “coal is here to stay”??

          is it not creepy to photograph children in a public park?

          just because things are in the public, doesn’t mean what’s happening is not creepy
