A comment on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab. Parent comment
People laugh at Russian TV, but to a lesser extent all western governments do the same kind of thing.
The LLNL has one job: research nuclear physics for maintaining the bomb stockpile without actually blowing any up in life fire tests.
Anything else they say is just there to make the public feel good about the billions being spent on weapons research.
There is zero — repeat — ZERO chance that the fusion approach used by LLNL will ever be used in any sort of energy production.
That’s not what their setup is for.
