NNSA Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs Marv Adams used a prop cylinder to explain what happened in a breakthrough nuclear fusion experiment that could pave the way for the future of clean energy. RELATED: Fusion energy breakthrough could lead to clean, carbon-free power https://bit.ly/3PpUXqW California scientists have achieved a major advance in fusion energy, a technology that could potentially provide clean, carbon-free power in years to come, the Department of Energy announced Tuesday. The breakthrough was made at 1:03 a.m. on Dec. 5 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility, 50 miles east of San Francisco. The work uses giant lasers to create heat and pressure like those found inside a star, enough to drive atoms together, releasing tremendous energy. The advance described Tuesday was that researchers have been able to create more energy in the process than they put into it, what's known as "ignition." In a news conference, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm described it as a "fusion breakthrough" that "will go down in the history books." » Subscribe to USA TODAY: http://bit.ly/1xa3XAh » Watch more on this and other topics from USA TODAY: https://bit.ly/3QYKjbc » USA TODAY delivers current local and national news, sports, entertainment, finance, technology, and more through award-winning journalism, photos, videos and VR. #Nuclear #Energy #Experiment

This man was soo containing his excitement😂😂. Nice, we commun people dont understand, but it is maybe the greatest discovery that will lead to thousand of other.
Title on his notes, “half wit translation.” This guy is smarter than all of us by how long it takes Biden to form a sentence.
Kinda fast
we will touch the sun
Give us more money is all I hear when he talks.
Mr turkentine from Willy wonka!
Fusion fuel? H?
And how much of the taxpayer $ was spent for years, just to make something that’s not gonna happen for 100 years. They won’t make $ off this so it won’t last.
What a scam.
Então, não entendi nada que ele falou kkkkk deve ser porque não sei inglês kkkkk
Type 2 energy
Playing with God’s toys! Don’t forget to consult Him on this one because this could be a lot of power to wield! Power can be wonderful and it can be death.
Wait so this announcement didn't factor in the energy cost for the lasers? Doesn't this make this the exact same result as every other fusion event already done?
Amazing
This is fascinating What does this means? What can you use this energy for?
Perseverance and passion on display!
Wahooooo!
Fascinating!
Pure Energy 🤓
