All of that has changed, since they’ve achieved ignition in 2021 and then confirmed the result here. https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.2.20221213a/full/ https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.2.2022121... The way to capture the energy and make it into electricity was studied here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Inertial_Fusion_Energy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Inertial_Fusion_Energy But it had been premature before they achieved ignition. You don’t build a boiler before you even have been able to spark a flame.
