Reply to comment by scrooplynooples in Will Nuclear Fusion Dump Clean Energy? by Rough-Lavishness-401

First of all that's awesome! So basically although it was important, right now it doesn't change anything and it won't change anything in the near future for the energy sector?

It’s a monumental step in the right direction.

An analogy I would relate it to is the invention of the printing press. Controlled fusion energy is like having the internet, and LLNL has just invented the printing press, figuring out a way of creating literature consistently and in a form that doesn’t require anywhere near as much effort as writing every single letter in a book.

But that is still a very long way away from information being able to be transferred the way the internet can transfer it.
