Scientists in Livermore, CA have been experimenting with
fusion technology for years, but in recent months have gotten further than anyone
else in the quest for the ultimate power source. Fusion energy is the stuff of Science
Fiction, it’s what powers spaceships and makes all fossil fuels obsolete. The only
catch is, in reality it has always taken more energy to produce a fusion
reaction than the amount of total energy generated. That has recently changed.
It may not sound like much, but scientists in Livermore
have evened the odds by producing genuine fusion that equally offsets the amount of power needed to kick-start the
reaction. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s a significant step in the right
direction. It suddenly makes the advent of real fusion reactors a potential
reality within our lifetime. You can read more about it here.
