How ridiculous people are who now hype the fusion reactor as the solution to everything (incl. disappearing socks) is shown by this sentence:
"To generate the two megajoules of laser power, you have to apply about 300 megajoules of electrical energy."
And of course, at the moment you only get about two shots a day.
That's only goes in part against the researchers at LLNL. The artificial hype is dishonest. But what is really catastrophic is how this news (apparently also not yet peer-reviewed) has been received publicly.
