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 we even study this? Renewables are the only way. This is a waste of money which is a finite resource.

    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”??

      Because they’re all solar punk enthusiasts. Basically modern day hippies but without the common sense.

      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.

          is it not creepy to photograph children in a public park?

          just because things are in the public, doesn’t mean what’s happening is not creepy

            It’s more comparable to the past things an author has written as opinion pieces.

            It’s your own choice to post on a public forum.

              imagine I’m reading through all of your comments and posts for the next hour or so of my life. all of my thoughts are centered on you. what you think, how you articulate, your sense of humor, what memes you like, everything you’ve made public. it’s creepy.

            Oh uh uh mate. I was happy to not reply but as others have pointed out I noticed by seeing multiple posts with your username in all. I then checked your post history to confirm my suspicion.

            Your commenting history is public by design, it was programmed that way, for the very reason I used it. So someone can see if a poster has history of posting bad faith shit. The fact that you’re trying the whole “creep” angle means you’re intentionally being disingenuous about it or have no idea how the internet has worked since forums.

                A sad reply but I’m glad to see you’ve given up the pretending. Your post, the replies and the downvotes are probably cause for some introspection, though given this reply you don’t strike me as the type. Have a good one.

          Lemmy is just not big enough to bury shit like that in the flood of useless background noise like reddit.

          People will see attempts like this in their feeds, no digging required.
