.....researchers recorded an energy yield of more than 1.3 megajoules (MJ) during only a few nanoseconds. That's not saying very much, but I guess it's an encouraging milestone, even if for such a brief nano-moment.

That’s nice. I guess. I wish I had money for every nuclear fusion “breakthrough” that’s ever been reported.

....but, as usual, commercial use is estimated to be “less than thirty years away!”
Oh, joy!
Now, where’s my goddam flying car and jet back pack?

I remember when they said that nuclear power would be “too cheap to meter”.

I have this nagging fear that one of these days guys are going to blow us to mars.

I hear Mars has a very strict immigration policy and robust enforcement of same.
I doubt many of us would make it through.

One kilowatt-hour of electricity is 3.6 megajoules.
One million joules is approximately the kinetic energy of a one metric ton vehicle moving at 161 km/h (100 mph).
But it occurred in a nanosecond. That’s... wow.

Only if the only source of hydrogen plasma is China. Otherwise, they’ll be demonizing it in 3...2...1...

Oxygen deprivation and hypothermia have no exceptions.
