Do they do the same with all the tokamak type reactors too though, ignoring how much energy is needed to maintain the plasma?
It’s fascinating, but I think it was on here someone posted an article which said the main issue was going to be a lack of tritium as all the Canadian reactors that produce most of the worlds tritium are reaching the end of their service life
"...the positive energy gain reported ignores the 500MJ of energy that was put into the lasers themselves..."
Oh. So, rubbish then.
