Game Changer?

[Insidious Von]

Considering the money poured into Nuclear Fusion, something had to give.

Nuclear Fusion powers the Sun which gave life to planted Earth. For the first time ever a net energy gain was achieved from a nuclear fusion reaction at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Now they've gotten to first base, let's see what happens next.

Poor Danielle Smith, if net energy gains increase it will throw a big monkey wrench into her agenda.

Many obstacles still need to be hammered out but it appears the first threshold has been passed. Is Nuclear Fusion ready to cross it's Rubicon?

If unlimited clean energy were to be achieved, we can focus on what truly important.

The technique they used has been decades in the making, and the net amount of energy is very very low, if there even is any. So don't sell your shares in conventional energy yet. Conventional nuclear is much more likely to be a big part of a non fossil fuel future

I'm gonna hold back until some more people sink their teeth into this.
You can't trust most reporting on shit like this especially after a big PR announcement.

They're having a press conference at 10..EST..
Should be interesting.

Its simply a milestone achieved.

It is the right direction…. And it is the future. (Not our future, mind you… but the future non the less).

 

[y2kmark]

Wonder if anyone is thinking of taking the research to deep space. They need to maintain really low temperatures, no???

Small modular nuclear reactors are the way to go to replace fossil fuel dependency.

Problem is that the radical leftist activist crowd is stalwart to their unattainable ideology of wind and solar.

But then again they really don't care for the poorest of the planet. That's just a facade.

From the BBC…

“although the experiment got more energy out than the laser put in, this did not include the energy needed to make the lasers work - which was far greater that the amount of energy the hydrogen produced.”

You are advocating for small nuclear reactors for the poorest nations on the planet?

This and nasa steps on ftl... we are 200 years ahead of expectations

more lime stepped up to bat. spending millions to make a generator that cant power a light bulb is a step

Why this work must continue. What happens if the Omani decide they no longer want to ferry oil tankers in/out of the Persian Gulf.

we shouldhsve omega bombs i the near future years psxt y2k but better late than never. as a plus iits easy to make pure fission bombs material wise so everyone will get them. ps i hate autocorrect

Currently the most important country in the world - that no one knows about. Oman is a peaceful seafaring nation respected by all it's neighbours including Iran. Since the Port of Aden (Yemen) is war torn, Oman built an international port on it's south coast. The northern tip of the Strait of Hormuz belongs to Oman.

Imagine the chaos if Oman didn't exist.

Well my geopolitics is slipping time to read dune again

Ya finally a nuke you can make at home and use water to power.

It may be a game changer 2 or 3 centuries away in the future.

What the world needs to save itself from the impending energy crunch
is not any game changer but to implement an old and proven solution.
Unless we expedite construction of conventional nuclear reactors on
a massive scale be prepared for the unpleasant alternative solution
that is trimming world's population by half by the end of this century.
