The dream of fusion power inched closer to reality in December 2022, when researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) revealed that a fusion reaction had produced more energy than what was required to kick-start it. It showed there’s nothing fundamentally limiting us from being able to harness fusion in the laboratory.”
