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

    Cold fusion was "promising" too....
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    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!
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    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.
