And the whole point of my comment is that people shouldn’t be wetting their pants thinking that fusion is right around the corner. This is just further proof of concept and does nothing to actually advance fusion power.
That’s pure laser energy, not whole system energy. Yeah, they got a slight gain from the fusion output, but nowhere near what the whole experiment used.
Still used orders of magnitude more energy to perform the experiment than the experiment output - plus they have no way to harvest that energy, and they’re mainly a nuclear weapon research facility. I guess the publicity for fusion power is good.
Bro we have seen the latest developments, but we’re not “scared” because we’re not fucking idiots. It’s not aliens. It’s some dudes making shit up to make a name for themselves, some dipshit pilots misunderstanding what they’re seeing, and fucking eejits like you making it into something it’s not.
What you call “moderate” is likely viewed very differently by other people, since I assume you’re from the US, and US politics has become a far-right fucking shitstorm. The overton window has shifted so much over there that “moderates” are degenerate cunts to more reasonable people.
