The U.S. Department of Energy will announce on Tuesday that scientists at a national lab have made a breakthrough on fusion energy, the process that powers the sun and stars that one day could provide a cheap source of electricity, two sources with knowledge of the matter said.

The scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California have achieved a net energy gain for the first time, in a fusion experiment using lasers, one of the people said. The FT first reported the experiment.

If fusion is commercialized, which backers say could happen in a decade or more, it would have additional benefits including producing energy without radioactive nuclear waste that today's fission reactors produce.

Hiç bir zararı yok iki reaktör bütün Amerikaya yetiyor diye biliyorum

Again?

Is this SAFIRE project technology? 😉

This has gone for along time 'a new breakthrough' since 1970s and 1986 was the years it was to work. How does our Sun really work?

Now you know why the energy sector has been so busy trying to sell wind and solar over the last decade. grift Fusion makes these technologies obsolete.

What happened with hydrogen energy? I remembered one of the scientists was murdered right after an interview I heard him in seems like 20 years ago. He was on the verge of harnessing cheap clean power for humanity

Not the tokamak reactor then

In a fusion experiment using lasers? Very interesting.

Isn’t this work also being done at PPPLab in Princeton, NJ?

Bill is pleased

This is an exciting breakthrough after years in the making.

Game Changer

Quick! Give China the technology so they can sell it back to us!

THIS COULD BE BIG! LETS FUCKING GO LLNL 4 months ago:

They gonna mine bitcoins with it?

Waits for Scientists to mysteriously die in traffic accident...

It’s the holy grail of energy! Imagine nuke plants without all that pesky radiation.

They've worked out how to weaponize it?

LoL. Just in time to save us from climate change?
