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:

    Lead in gasoline? They knew it was toxic the day leaded gasoline was invented, they just couldn’t prove how toxic it was. So for like seventy years the lead companies would say “Well its’ not that bad” and the researchers would say “it’s bad we just can’t quanitfy exactly how bad” and the issue would get put off for a few years and by the time it was finally banned we had the Boomers.

    You can't just bring this up and not mention Clair Patterson and his tireless efforts to expose the dangers of the widespread use of lead. He's largely the reason why they couldn't hide it anymore.
