While the repeat attempts have not reached the same level of "fusion yield as the August 2021 experiment, all of them demonstrated capsule gain greater than unity with yields in the 430-700 kJ range, significantly higher than the previous highest yield of 170 kJ from February 2021. " Does this mean they are producing energy? 10,000 kilo watt hours is not to be sniffed at

10,000 kWh is 36 million kilojoules 170kJ is 1/20th of a kilowatt hour - on the order of 1 cents worth of electricity. 700kJ would be 1/5th of a kWh

> 430-700 kJ range That's approximately as much energy as you'd get from burning one fast food hamburger.
