Inside the nuclear fusion lab trying to replicate the Sun on Earth

CNN's Bill Weir goes inside a laboratory trying to revolutionize the way electricity is generated. Unlike traditional power plants that contribute to global warming, this nuclear lab is working to harness energy similar to stars in the sky. #CNN #News

The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand.

My first question is why? They won't be happy until they destroy the Earth we call home. And you never should trust someone with a bad gum to teeth ratio

Icarus and Prometheus are face palming right now from Tartarus

Doc Oc tried to do this and we all remember what happened to him...well... actually he ended up in the MCU so let's go for it!

Um, they can only sustain the reaction for what, less than a millisecond? Who paid for this advertisement?

[posthocprior]

Thanks for devoting three minutes to this.

*_Why don't they replicate the earth so we can move their when things go wrong first?_*

You’re still playing with energy. We all know what happens when you lose control of energy. I hope they’re keeping this in mind.

[Neurz]

Thanks to all the scientist/geniuses involved in these cool projects!

The first thing they will try to do is make a fusion BOMB 😅

[zerowarner]

This is the best thing I've heard in years amazing reporting gives me hope for the future.

The progress made in nuclear fusion is truly remarkable, as scientists strive to replace traditional power plants with a clean energy source similar to the power generated by stars. It's inspiring to see the successful demonstration of fusion and the shift in focus towards when, not if, this technology can be achieved.

Calling Cooper Andeson a journalist is like calling CNN "the most trusted name in news."

[Blakeoriginal]

When is it used and what would we use this for?

[mojojuicejoe]

"News" organizations can give hours upon hours of time to celebrities, politicians, and contributors. But they can't spare more then 4 minutes to cover some of the most fascinating and scientific achievements our academics can provide to us. Blows me away. But, it doesn't surprise me. No wonder America is so stupid.

Wow so that would eliminate using greenhouse gases completely🤔
