From here: Nuclear fusion reactor in UK sets new world record for energy output | Live Science “In a news conference today (Feb. 8), representatives from the Joint European Torus (JET) facility declared that the reactor's final tests yielded 69.26 megajoules of heat from just 0.21 milligrams of fuel — the equivalent of burning 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms) of coal. This is more total energy — though not more net positive energy — than any other fusion reaction has produced thus far.
ITER (which I have kept an eye on for many years) is moribund in bureaucracy. Fingers crossed it will yield something useful. The small truck sized fusion projects appear more promising, whether in the UK or the US, assuming the that what passes for the UK and the US in the future has not regressed into a new Stone Age.
Have to wonder WHY this energy "project" remains pushing the 20 yrs dn the road button for the 3rd time
Maybe some day France will power the world.
Dismantling the reactor because the so called 'elites' want it for themselves after they murder 2/3 of the inhabitants on this sphere...

Promised since 1970s: Tokamak. We just need another 20 years and another 100B.
