The scientists used lasers to fuse two light atoms into a single one, releasing 3.15MJ (megajoules) of energy from 2.05MJ of input – roughly enough to boil a kettle.

Why do you have multiple post of breakthroughs in nuclear tech with negative criticism?

In fact multiple posts appearing to concern troll renewables with statements like “coal is here to stay”??

They really really like renewable energy but they don't have a clue what they're talking about so anytime anyone comes up with anything that isn't solar panels or wind turbines they throw a fit.
