Comment on Clean energy could be 'closer than ever' after a nuclear fusion machine smashed a record

69 MJ is 19.17 kWh. About 86p of electricity at today’s wholesale price in the UK (£45/MWh: today is fairly average).
The research they are doing is great, but there’s so much engineering to be done to turn fusion into something practical; something capable of running streams of pulses, not just single ones.
This was the last experiment for this reactor running it outside of design limits.

Yes. That’s already being worked on, in forms other than just the tokamak as well.
