From the article,

“Late last century, the Joint European Torus (JET) near Oxford, UK, churned out 22 megajoules of energy in what was, at the time, a record in fusion power.”

“Now, experimental upgrades have brought the facility into line with the technology anticipated for a major international project, resulting in the production of nearly three times that amount of power.”

A joule is a very small amount of energy it equals 1 watt of energy for one second. A million joules is a megajoule, which is the equivalent of .278 kilowatt hours.

So for this story problem we are talking about 60 megajoules of energy produced, So if we multiply 60 by .278 it comes to 16.67 kilowatt hours of energy... or about $2 worth of power or less in most parts of this country. But converting this heat energy to electricity would result in much of it being lost. So I am sorry; it is not going to take your Tesla very far.

and they’re doing their part to reduce the load by not installing parts that use more electricity... 8^)

Cold Fusion is 25 ORDERS of MAGNITUDE better bang for the buck than Controlled Hot Fusion (CHF).
