And please explain your plan for fusion containment. We've had practical fusion power since 1952 when the US detonated the first hydrogen bomb. However, because there was no containment, the only "practical" use was to blow the hell out of an atoll in
the Pacific. Making excess power from a fusion reaction for something like a billionth of a second isn't what I consider enough reason for the mainstream media to wet their pants and predict how "soon" we will have super clean, free, and politically
correct "climate change" electricity.
And Martin's quote is the best I've seen:
"Fusion is the energy source of the future, and always will be!"
The big news is, for the first time in any fusion experiment, the reaction produced more
energy than the lasers delivered to the chamber. To make an aeronautic analogy, I'd say
fusion has reached the same stage the Wright brothers reached on December 17, 1903, with
their 59 second, 852 foot flight.
