//@generationz.rightwing: The potential breakthrough of a federal facility in California in regards to nuclear fusion has generated cautious excitement for the future of green energy. In the past two weeks, scientists at a federal facility in California were able to produce more energy than the amount of energy put into the experiment using laser beams to ignite a fusion reaction with a small amount of hydrogen plasma. This net energy gain, which has eluded physicists for decades, was achieved at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and signals the emergence of a technology that could become a zero-carbon alternative to fossil fuels, though scientists stress that fusion power stations are decades away from becoming a reality.
