The headline reads Fusion Experiment Breakthrough "This is closer than anyone's gotten before" to self-sustaining energy, Hurricane says. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fusion-experiment-breakthrough/ <http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fusion-experiment-breakthrough/?u tm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciam%2Falternativ e-energy-technology+%28Topic%3A+Alternative+Energy+Technology%29>
Further down we read that this is just another expensive boondoggle. More of the same BS from SciAm. Although the fuel pellet yielded 17,000 joules of energy, the entire fusion experiment fell far short of breaking even. The NIF experiment required more energy to run than it generated; feeding the lasers alone required a burst of about 500 trillion joules. Fell short ? LOL I'd say that is a little short...
