Why don’t they just go to the Sun and scoop up some material that is already undergoing fusion to power a reactor? They could use something like a giant spoon. It might get too hot so they might need to do it at night.

So far actual fusion has just been a fleeting laboratory experiment and no where near to a sustained source of power for commercial use. There have been predictions that fusion power is just a few years away for the last 30 years. Maybe someday, but not likely in the near future

Direct detection of Gravity waves was something that once was ‘Only 20 years away’. Einstein believed it would never be achieved. In 2015 it was achieved.

Does anyone else find the project name, "Infinity Two", to be a really funny bit of grad student humor that goes undetected by the institutions handing out cash?

What's next? "From here to Infinity and Back"? Our enthusiasm for wordsmithed phrases of promise have made the American version of language quite disingenuous and contradictory at times.

Wake me when they have an operating experimental design and have successfully produced profitable surplus power for a year.

Frankly, this all smacks as intentional delay like they’re withholding key tech from researchers.

If they did work the environmentalists and socialists would work to scrap them.

If it’s for real this time, the anti-electricity woo-woos of the left will find some reason to be against it.

Livermore made the first reactor that maybe broke even (produced more power than it used) in 2025.

Iโ€™m calling BS.

“The company has also leveraged a partner-rich commercialization program”

This crap was written by some Harvard MBA, wasn’t it?

This is a press release, not a news article, as it pretends to be.

If the word nuclear appears in any licensing docs the treehuggers will not allow it. Never. Not in the US.
