One dead science team and a bombed lab.

was reading that story yesterday , producig 1.5 times more energy than input.

the habibis would be looking at another kogashi senario

I'll believe it when it's practicle....however long that takes.

Cold fusion was "promising" too....

I bet they used way more power than that to get that response. The lasers in question might only have been used for a few seconds to produce said result. However, Looking at that laboratory, I bet there was a lot more used to get to that point!

Yes I meant to post earlier but forgot:

Around 1970 I wrote a school essay about fusion reactors.
It was claimed back then that we are 30 years away.

Now in 2022 with this 'breakthrough' we are only a few decades away, LOL.
