Hopefully this isn't another false alarm. There have been several announcements previously that came to nothing.
IF this IS true, for the first time in history an electric car will not be dumber than a screen door on a submarine!

Seems like a very reasonable minimum expectation.

Article needs a correction...strongest field by a “high temp superconductor” magnet. Stronger fields have been generated by low temp magnets.

The real question is what effect will it have on electricity costs.

“power plant that can produce more power than it consumes”
Power plants don’t consume power. They consumer energy.
It’s like the difference between saying that your car gets 30 miles per gallon of gas, and your car gets 30 miles per hour per gallon of gas.

Water is a critical crucial finite resource that nuclear fuzziation will deplete putting the survival of the Ouagadougou red snaildarter in peril.
Can’t have it.

The amount of power that is available is really game-changing.” The fuel used to create fusion energy comes from water, and “the Earth is full of water — it’s a nearly unlimited resource. We just have to figure out how to utilize it.”This is a lie. In magnetically confined fusion half the fuel is Tritium which decays with a 12.5 year half-life. The amount of natural tritium is therefore negligible and to get tritium you have to breed it. Turns out based on very simple math that even with 100% recovery and conversion efficiency, tritium breeding from fusion is a losing proposition [you get back fewer tritium atoms than you start with]. So, this MIT geology professor lied.
And then there is this little problem of actually getting fusion to work on anything smaller than a nuclear bomb.
