Reply to comment by [deleted] in National Ignition Facility (NIF) announces net positive energy fusion experiment by Robo-Connery
More energy was produced by the fuel pellet than what was provided by the laser which is what the experiment was about, that is a big deal but the laser uses way more energy than what actually gets to the fuel pellet. This is like a small proof of concept step in the right direction but not a sign that mass fusion power is a few years or even decades away.
