Scientists and engineers near the English city of Oxford have set a nuclear fusion energy record, they announced Thursday, bringing the clean, futuristic power source another step closer to reality.
@GottaLaff We are getting tantalizing closer to making cold fusion a reality with every reaction they can sustain for a period of several seconds or more.
I only hope hey can deliver on the fusion promise in my lifetime - it seems they have been about 20-30 years away from it for the past 50 years.
@GottaLaff "While fusion energy would be a gamechanger for the climate crisis — which is caused primarily by humans burning fossil fuels — it’s a technology that’s still likely to need many years to commericialize. By the time it’s fully developed, it would be too late to use it as a main tool to address climate change, according to Aneeqa Khan, research fellow in nuclear fusion at the University of Manchester.". 😕
@GottaLaff I love that they’re figuring out how to controlled fusion reactions.
I would love it more if they performed those fusion experiments on the moon. Oh, and please put the supercollider up there as well, that things creeps me the hell out.
