The NIF was completed in early 2009 and eventually will be used by the U.S. Department of Energy, as well as technicians from national laboratories, fusion energy researchers, academics, and others. It is "the world's largest and highest-energy laser, [and] has the goal of achieving nuclear fusion and energy gain in the laboratory for the first time," according to the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, "in essence, creating a miniature star on Earth.

if we finally figure out how to create nuclear fusion the world will start getting really interesting.

It's not about creating it, it's about controlling it. I think there's a place in Europe already doing it with magnetic fields. They can sustain it for a couple seconds but it still takes more energy to contain the reaction than what they get out of it.

    • I don’t think we were watching the same game. Dalton’s passes weren’t on target either. Especially the 30 yard one that gave XL one third of his yards. The one he had to stop and come back for. XL just got more targets because Sauce was on TMac. 
    • A starving dog is thankful for table scraps too.  Yes, the winning streak is nice, but going from bottom dwellers to mediocre still isn't the long term solution.  Enjoy the now, but don't lose sight of the future.  Some of us know this is not a model that can sustain us forever nor deliver us a championship.  Teams will eventually lock down our rushing attack.  Our defense will lapse periodically.  There will be a time where we need a QB to play 'hero ball'.  We don't have that type of QB on this roster.
    • He came off the bench he should have been in the game from the start, he was coming off a historic 2 game run you ride that momentum and see what happens. That rotating series b.s is just cute it's not how football is played and won. Chuba can spell Rico but why force 50-50 split when the production isnt split?
