Reports: Scientists see breakthrough in 'holy grail' of clean energy
The Washington Post reports that the US Department of Energy is expected to announce that for the first time scientists have successfully produced a nuclear fusion reaction resulting in a net energy gain. CNN's Bill Weir joins "CNN This Morning" with more.

This is absolutely enormous news. If fusion comes through, it could solve so many problems. We'd live in a different world.

It gives me hope for the future. It's exactly the kind of thing we need to change the course we're on.

It is not true. Here is Hossenfelder explaining how the claim is incorrect.

Breakthrough in nuclear fusion could mean ‘near-limitless energy’

Researchers have reportedly made a breakthrough in the quest to unlock a “near-limitless, safe, clean” source of energy: they have got more energy out of a nuclear fusion reaction than they put in.

“It proves that the long sought-after goal, the ‘holy grail’ of fusion, can indeed be achieved.”

But experts have stressed that while the results would be an important proof of principle, the technology is a long way from being a mainstay of the energy landscape. To start with, 0.4MJ is about 0.1kWh – about enough energy to boil a kettle.
