“we can now say with confidence that in the not-too-distant future”
What is the usual?
Ten or twenty years off?
Did the reaction last longer than milliseconds?
“Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown. I’ve seen the light and promise never to take the football away again!”
If the sun is able to generate more energy than present within, then why is it not growing in size and/or strength? Maybe it is, and that explains so-called global warming.
Cold fusion will never see the light of day. Too many powerful interests are involved in the energy sector and their plans for us do not involve cheap, safe and abundant energy.
What happened? Did the Law of Conservation of Energy suddenly get repealed? EXTREMELY SKEPTICAL HERE.
AND we just need a few trillion dollars in tax dollars to figure it out.
In short, unless I’ve gotten it wrong, they don’t consider that the mass/gravity of the sun kicks off the suns fusion reaction and the energy needed to approximate this here on earth isn’t, for some bizarre reason,taken into account. (Don’t tell your accountant about this reporting technique )

I’ve heard this practical fusion energy is right around the corner for 50 years. Maybe this latest experiment shows progress but at best practical fusion energy is decades away.
