I was so happy and excited to read about this. WOW.
OK. I will confess that I wish it had been for longer — i.e., NOT just for 48 seconds.
I don’t know the mechanics, BUT I wish they had managed to run it for longer — a few hours — at a REDUCED temperature. We don’t need such outlandishly high temperatures. What we need is sustainability.
NUCLEAR POWER IS OUR FUTURE.
There can be no doubt or debate about this any longer. Thankfully countries are beginning to see sense — even in the U.S.
Fusion, the nuclear process that powers the sun, is the way forward. Recreate the sun closer to earth. I am all in favor of ALL nuclear — but LOVE fusion.
My time on earth is now limited. I would LOVE to see fusion become a reality before I die. I somehow don’t think that will happen. But, this made me happy.
Since the late 1970s I’ve been seeing claims that fusion will be along some time from 1984 to 2048…the nearer years keep getting crossed off the accuracy list,will the reality happen before that range runs out?
