Look. I understand why people are skeptical about the latest #fusion news from #Livermore. But it's too easy for skepticism to slide into cynicism, "fusion power has been twenty years away for sixty years" and all that. Don't gloss over the very real, steady progress researchers have made.
We know it's possible, and as long as we keep trying, someone will be the first to make it work.
@medigoth I consider myself a skeptic on this subject, but the skepticism isn't about whether we'll *ever* get there, but rather about whether it'll happen in our lifetimes.
I trust human ingenuity will get there eventually, but I'm much less optimistic about it happening any time soon, even with this latest news.
