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.

See that can be solved as easily as just not putting that information publicly online.

If you make information public then someone is going to read it. That’s generally how that works.
