Experts were able to simulate the mechanism that stabilizes plasma in fusion reactors. This development could take humankind one step closer to a clean, unlimited source of fusion energy.

So...practical commercial fusion is still 50 years way (just like it's been for the past 60 years), right?

  Money going to US military warmongers.

  They still pay, we benefit without paying.

  It sounds like both are consistent in a selfish kind of way.

  We did fission, it's their turn.
