DOE National Laboratory Makes History by Achieving Fusion Ignition
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today announced the achievement of fusion ignition at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)—a major scientific breakthrough decades in the making.Energy.gov
Take a peak at this article from Ars Technica
“Before we get to visions of fusion power plants dotting the landscape, however, there's the uncomfortable fact that producing the 2 megajoules of laser power that started the fusion reaction took about 300 megajoules of grid power, so the overall process is nowhere near the break-even point.”

What enabled the big boost in fusion energy announced this week?
Two megajoules of laser yielded three megajoules of fusion energy.Ars Technica

There's a new groups system for the Fediverse called chirp.social. More info at:
