Great.
Can they stop building two fucking coal plants every single week now?
>>8455795
But can it power a single 60 watt light bulb?

Right now the confinment of plasma and heating alone takes more energy than the achived fusion produces.

that sounds like a problem that can be solved... by scaling shit up...
is there an amount of scaling that would make this thing easy to build for sure?
Like, amount of walls needed to contain grow to the power or 2 but avaivable volume of artificial sun grows by the power of 3, its a no brainer just make it bigger
