To put the fusion breakthrough in perspective:  <br>3.15MJ - 2.05MJ = 1.1MJ (net) = 0.3 kWh<br>About enough to bring a gallon of water to a boil on a warm day or charge your phone about 20 times.,(reply>), @Riccardo Pezzani the ignition portion is important the ignition generated more energy then went in through fusion proving the concept now it can be refined over the next couple decades to lower the costs or sustain it to get more power then put in if possible its moving away from “is it even possible” to “how do we make it work”,(reply>), But after you create the fusion reaction, the fission reaction should produce a lot more power no?,(reply>), I'm still pissed by the much worse fact nobody is talking about the around 300mj used by the lasers... they have an over 99% energy loss before converging to the gold pellet; Oh but I guess it won't be that amazing news if people known about that detail, right? That's basically misinformation to my eye
