There is talk that the federal Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California created more energy than was put in for a fusion experiment.
Apparently they use something called inertial confinement fusion...pellets and fricking powerful laser.
So potentially a greener future or another soon to be dead end experiment chasing an impossible fusion dream!
Achievable or not, too costly or another source will make it redundent? Thoughts?

Fingers crossed on this, it would be a transformation in energy production. |  |

The fossil fuel lobby will be working very hard to put barriers in the way of this and they wield tremendous power. |  |

Great news, but i will still need gas for my heating and cooking |  | | |

I don't think so, there is too much vested interest in making it work, the UK, EU, China as well as other yanks are working on it.
The Chinese also broke a record recently.
The problem isn't just getting it, but maintaining it.
What I find funny is that a couple of years ago, which I reported on here at the time, the Safire Project had Plasma running producing more energy than input on a continuous basis.
And the world ignored it.
It also transmutes elements, including radioactive ones, so they are concentrating on a system to clean up Radioactive waste.
The Videos are fascinating and so is their plan, if it ever comes to fruition.

And the not so good new...producing the 2 megajoules of laser power that started the fusion reaction took about 300 megajoules of grid power. 
Back to the drawing board then. | |

Have they given any thought to hooking a conductor up to the clock tower in the town square? 😊 |  |

I would take any claims by Americans with a pinch of salt. | | | |

It’s megajoules they need not gigawatts. | |
