The breakthrough at the National Ignition Facilty at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has shown 192 lasers all hitting the same point can reach sun core temperatures needed for fusion. They said the amount of energy used by the lasers is less than that produced by fusion in hypothethical computer models. The first fusion reactor should be studied, duplicated, enhanced and become the main source of power, not only for us, but the world. Funding for this should be a priority in the budget and discretionary spending. Electric/hydrogen vehicles will become the norm with unlimited ability to produce hydrogen from distilled water at fusion plants. Our fossil fuel using days are over and it is wonderful America came up with the breakthrough.
