US scientists achieve ‘holy grail’ nuclear fusion reaction: report
www.independent.co.uk
Nuclear fusion could be key tool to stave off climate crisis

Researchers were able to produce 2.5 megajoules of energy, 120 per cent of the 2.1 megajoules used to power the experiment.

Now we must wait to see if this is an aberration and can be done at scale. I'm ready for the world to change :party-parrot-science:

Government workers got the goods, fuck you capitalism, great 'innovation' you have :fidel-salute:

    Military Industrial Complex gonna be on this shit like :posadas:

    Seriously, I want to believe this would actually be used to help the people of the world but I've learned not to expect good things when they would make sense

      I'm just hoping there arent too many rare materials we're gonna have to kill brown people over. Though odds are any materials used in this are coming from China who is too big to fight

          My first thought on hearing this, but not for the creation of gundams, but the scenario of Gundam 00 in which the major world nations built solar arrays in space and then used apace elevators to being an endless supply of energy to earth ... which was then used in much the same manner IMF works now to put third world countries under the thumb of the US.

            I feel like I need to buy Gunpla to make sure that anime like this can be funded

                I'm really enjoying this show so far. Also just finished the OG Mobile Suit Gundam from 79. That was really good.

                  I really need to give the older stuff another chance. My problem is, Gundam Wing was one of my first forays into anime and it kinda set the bar visually. The aesthetics of the older stuff turns me off and pulls me out of the story. I gotta bite the bullet one of these days though. I hear good things

                    everything after the 1979 original is really good looking. if you watch the compilation movies they should get you up to speed for zeta, and they don't look that bad

          We are going to get the hell world of Gundam Universal Century, but no cool robots

      Okay but that would actually be a good thing- much less pollution and the military would have to put in a lot more man hours to building and maintaining much more complex equipment, harming their readiness- which is why it won't happen
