    On a serious note this thing generates more power than all the power plants in the world combined.

    This thing could be the answer to ending our dependence on fossil fuels if it were ever compacted and miniaturized into a more practical form.

    i remember playing sim city as a kid, and i always wondered when we would eventually find "fusion power" like they have in the game. Fusion in that game was the best lol

    These guys are going to basically end up creating a laser that sets off a chain reaction which results in the entire world population absorbing a ton of radiation, sending us into all into a death spiral.



    Not a fan.

    Hearing one of those big lasers that simulate nukes go off is really cool -- it's like a quick monster boom of thunder.
