France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor.
This could be the real start to fusion power becoming reality. They keep breaking records at an increasingly faster and larger pace.
yeah I have been the type to sorta shrug my shoulders as seeming to be forever a way but I remember when seconds were a big deal and now we are closing in on half an hour. Starting to seem like a possibility.
It would be nice if we as a species could focus on shit like this instead of fighting each other.
Why not both? Think of it! Fusion weapons!
