Well ya but titrium is very very rare though so we have a way to go

No they did not. The laser consumed approx 100 the energy, it emitted as light. So Q_plasma > 1 but not Q_total > 1. Second, you need to be able to sustain this fusion or do them very frequently. And third, they use Tritium and Deuterium. While the latter is available in large numbers, Tritium is unstable and has to be produced in nuclear reactors (or by other means). So this is a milestone, but not a breakthrough.

Umm you talked a little bit about deuterium but not so much about tritium. Tritium for you boys and girls that don’t know, is in very rare supply these days. That’s because there’s not that much of it due to the fact of its radioactive decay. But not all is lost little ones. Tritium can be created in the fusion process. You can capture that tritium and use it for the next reaction.
