Billions of taxpayer dollars expended. Decades of hard work; thank you scientists.
The National Ignition Facility laser fusion device drew 400 megajoules of electricity from the grid. The fuel pellet ignited. A fusion reaction took place. It released 3.15 megajoules of energy.
But will the results “pave the way for … the future of clean power.” as claimed by the Department of Energy?
Does this “astonishing scientific advance put us on the precipice of a future no longer reliant on fossil fuels but instead powered by new clean fusion energy,” as claimed by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer?
Could this “promising breakthrough … help fuel a brighter clean energy future for the United States and humanity,” as claimed by U.S. Senator Jack Reed?
Is this a “monumental scientific breakthrough … a milestone for the future of clean energy,” as claimed by U.S. Senator Alex Padilla?
Will “this breakthrough … enable progress toward new ways to power our homes and offices in future decades,” according to U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell?
The reaction lasted for 0.00000000009 of a second. The device produced no net energy. The device lost 99.2 percent of the energy it consumed.
Internal combustion engines ignite and make cars move. Rocket engines ignite and launch satellites. Laser fusion devices ignite and do nothing useful.
Let us not forget, as Bill Nye did on CNN today, that the required fuel for commercial fusion reactors does not exist.
Show’s over. Everyone can go home now.
