The US National Ignition Facility has achieved even higher energy yields since breaking even for the first time in 2022, but a practical fusion reactor is still a long way off
I mean, it’s what the whole article is about. If you mean successfully generating sustainable electricity from fusion then yeah, maybe. Maybe not. People said flight was impossible too, you never know.

We’ve harnessed the power of fusion in nuclear weapons for decades already.
We’ve literally put it in a small container.
You never know is the crack in the armor that allows snake oil salesmen and other charlatans in.
Combined with actual progress and scientific methods “you never know” is how you fly helicopters on other planets too.
You’re calling the US National Ignition Facility at LLNI snake oil salesmen?
Explain exactly how I did that.
Bro 😭
I’m all for skepticism but, like, how are you gonna hoodwink someone into nuclear fusion power? Can that even happen?
