So far break even has never been achieved for the Tokamak. The laser array was a flop.NIF: US lab takes further step towards nuclear fusion goal
US physicists confirm that they have achieved a stage in nuclear fusion called "burning plasma".
all thoughts and opinions welcome..
i think the sooner we reach economic viability in actually safe reactors, the better
Fusion is a much better way to create energy by being able to burn waste material. Clean and effecient.NIF: US lab takes further step towards nuclear fusion goal

Yeah like Jimmy Carter saying that oil would run out in 10 years, that was 1976. Like Al Jazeera Gore telling US that the world would end in 10 years from Global Warming that was 2006. Yep, just another 10 years....
This compresses the fuel to 100 times the density of lead and heats it to 100 million degrees Celsius - hotter than the centre of the Sun. Heating the target in this way generates an electrically-charged gas called plasma. In the plasma, electron particles are stripped out of atoms, leaving the parts known as atomic nuclei. These can fuse together, generating energy in the process.
