Nuclear fusion reaction releases almost twice the energy put in
Nuclear fusion reaction releases almost twice the energy put in
The US National Ignition Facility has achieved even higher energy yields since breaking even for the first time in 2022, but a practical fusion reactor is still a long way off

Awesome put a solar farm next to a nuclear fusion plant
I believe the general principal is giving such a device “seed energy” to get it started, then just feeding the power it produces back into itself. The only time you’d ever need that solar farm is to get it started.
You could also pump that energy into other fusion reactors to get “unlimited energy” so to speak.
Well yes but the idea is getting rid of fusion reactors. It might be more efficient but it's a lot more expensive
Why would we want to get rid of fusion reactors? We literally have zero, and are working toward them being viable for general use.
I deleted the comment 3 seconds after it was posted, funny thing that you are still seeing it
8h later, I'm still seeing it too. Looks like the delete may not have either taken or may not have synced.
Deleted for me so probably an instance thing
Maybe I should start building the habit of checking what I wrote before I post instead of after
That's not how nuclear power works
