WE DID NUCLEAR FUSION

Just today, Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California celebrated a breakthrough in their fusion experiments. For the first time, they were able to generate more energy than they invested in the process. The researchers used 2.1 megajoules of energy, with the help of laser beams, to initiate the fusion of two hydrogen isotopes. The fusion reaction in the facility generated 2.5 megajoules of energy. This is an important step towards the commercial use of fusion technology and a potential alternative to fossil fuels.
