Sigh. This was not a breakthrough. Yes, laser power in was exceeded by fusion thermal power out, but in terms of grid power needed to fire the lasers vs. fusion power out, there is still an order of magnitude to go
Yup, pretty dissapointing given the hype in the post.
This changes nothing. Still "decades away" territory.
