Love to see it happen soon.

But OH NO’s . ..... the Global Warming crowd will deny us nuclear fusion too!

Viable nuclear fusion is our key to the stars. Its worth the present effort and much, much more. May the US Space Force be with us.

If this works I will be interested to see who protests. I believe the ‘clean-energy’ crowd is about everything but clean energy. This technology could do away with fossil fuel and electric energy in a single day.

...inertial confinement machines like the National Ignition Facility (NIF)...

Would that make a heckuva business card? "Yeah, I work at the National Ignition Facility..."

As I recall the problem with fusion energy generation is that, with the present technology, it takes more energy to run the machine than it can generate via heat and steam turbines.

The fusion they can do. They just need better efficiency. The energy generated by the fusion process must be able to be fed back to the generator and leave something left over for the rest of us. That is, it needs to be self-sustaining and provide a usable and affordable output to the power grid.

And fusion is not fission. Fusion is what goes on in the sun. Fission is what goes on in atomic bombs. Big difference.

Fusion is like Democrats. Controlled confinement is perpetually just a few years away
