But as for producing a net energy output over input…not really.

We’re still a long way from Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s hyped claim that “This milestone moves us one significant step closer to the possibility of zero-carbon abundant fusion energy powering our society.”

So, here’s what happened at NIF.
