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?

    Overheard on top of a mountain, recently "Dudes, I already provided the fusion generator. It's been burning for 4.5 billion years. You spent 20000 years using solidified buyproducts, that was expected. Since you finally learnt how to use electricity, and how to get massive quantities of electricity directly from my thermonuclear source, why do you bother with building another one? Do you not like mine, you morons? Let me get that book an remove the 'in my image' part..."
