The scientists used lasers to fuse two light atoms into a single one, releasing 3.15MJ (megajoules) of energy from 2.05MJ of input – roughly enough to boil a kettle.

Why do we even study this? Renewables are the only way. This is a waste of money which is a finite resource.

    Why do you have multiple post of breakthroughs in nuclear tech with negative criticism?

    In fact multiple posts appearing to concern troll renewables with statements like “coal is here to stay”??

      Because they’re all solar punk enthusiasts. Basically modern day hippies but without the common sense.

      They really really like renewable energy but they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about so anytime anyone comes up with anything that isn’t solar panels or wind turbines they throw a fit.
