The scientists used lasers to fuse two light atoms into a single one, releasing 3.15MJ (megajoules) of energy from 2.05MJ of input – roughly enough to boil a kettle.

Why do we even study this? Renewables are the only way. This is a waste of money which is a finite resource.

Renewables are the only way.

You're right! We should power everything by burning charcoal.

Some downvotes I saw, I am not sure if people can tell sarcasm.

[-] Nougat@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

I wasn't being sarcastic at all. OP wants renewables, and charcoal is renewable.

[-] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 11 months ago

Well call me a dumbasses for thinking that was sarcasm. Charcoal is not renewable bro. Wtf.

[-] Nougat@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

It absolutely is. Charcoal comes from wood. You can plant more trees. Renewable.

Right and we already have amazing track record on reforestation, and our rainforest are healthier than ever.
