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.

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

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

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.
