Thank you! That’s what I thought when I read this:
“Perhaps the biggest roadblock to adopting fusion energy is that the economics haven’t penciled out.”
Well...that and the fact that it’s never been done.
It’s sort of the Obama concept of “leadership.” Just say something and it will happen.
Scientists with the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced today that they have achieved a critical step in fusion research: For the first time, their hydrogen fuel has given off more energy than it took in.
