The Washington Post:

"...they are measuring just the amount of energy required to power the lasers that were used to smush the hydrogen atoms together - not the power that's necessary to make the whole project work."

From memory - the last positive test required 200 times more energy "to make the whole project work" than was actually created by fusion!

Where is that research lab. I want to make sure I stay 100 miles away.

I’ve gotten it into my head that the National Ignition Facility is cover for developing a fusion-only thermonuclear bomb. The explosively driven lasers required for ignition in a bomb were developed elsewhere.

The government is sitting on the technology to provide free energy and will not release it to the public. What does that tell you about your ‘government?’

If room temp superconducting works out, fusion plasma containment will be simpler and cheaper.
