This could be the real start to fusion power becoming reality. They keep breaking records at an increasingly faster and larger pace.

yeah I have been the type to sorta shrug my shoulders as seeming to be forever a way but I remember when seconds were a big deal and now we are closing in on half an hour. Starting to seem like a possibility.

It would be nice if we as a species could focus on shit like this instead of fighting each other.
