Are you sure of that? This is from 2014: https://arstechnica.com/science/2014/02/giant-leap-for-nuclear-fusion-as-scientists-get-more-energy-out-than-fuel-put-in/?itm_source=parsely-api https://arstechnica.com/science/2014/02/giant-leap-for-nucle...
- falcor84 4y agoQuoting from the article you linked to: Hurricane’s current output, although more than the hydrogen fuel put into the reaction, hasn’t yet reached the stated goal to achieve “ignition," where nuclear fusion generates as much energy as the lasers supply. At that point it might be possible to make a sustainable power plant based on the technology.
