- Comment on Clean energy could be 'closer than ever' after a nuclear fusion machine smashed a record 9 months ago:
69 MJ is 19.17 kWh. About 86p of electricity at today’s wholesale price in the UK (£45/MWh: today is fairly average).

This was the last experiment for this reactor running it outside of design limits.

There’s plenty of non copyright material out there to do research on. It won’t make for useful AI products, but they can start licensing for that.

It’s not hard. He’s saying that this study makes no claims about effectiveness, but people are so programmed with the catchphrase “safe and effective” that they conflate the two.

I’ve noted over the past few years, how any company that invests in R&D rather than pays dividends is labelled as “loss making” by the press.
