working on was lev tating a half ton magnet in midair and creating a plasma around it. there are two ways. one way is imagine if you would you had some hot grits or oatmeal and you re trying to take those hot grits and shape them into a snow man with your bare hands. that s what, that s the kind of fusion reactor that uses super conducting magnets to shape the plasma. the other way is what we saw the breakthrough. think about the justice league when they revive superman and the flash was running full speed, he was generating enough energy to touch the mother box which then generated more energy. that s what they did with a activated the nuclear powers finals involved? orderly sadness alone. we ll examine as. low the thing is i feel like this whole fusion idea is the
national ignition facility. there is another process which many commercial fusion companies are using, which uses magnets, and that is a little bit further along. it s quite a bit further along to be able to lead to a power plant. what this breakthrough says is that it can be done, and the president has indicated vision and wants to see a commercial fusion reactor within ten years. so some of those companies are much further along than this huge facility that actually does nuclear stockpile testing, et cetera. all right, secretary of energy, jennifer granholm, really fascinating stuff, we appreciate it. it s great stuff, yeah, thank you so much. all right, inflation, it was going to be what the start that democrats in the midterms, there were some, but that did not happen. and then today, some good news on the front. senator bernie sanders on how the biden economy keeps defying the critics ahead.

fusion reactor, also called fusion power plant or thermonuclear reactor, a device to produce electrical power from the energy released in a nuclear fusion reaction. The use of nuclear fusion reactions for electricity generation remains theoretical. Since the 1930s, scientists have known that the Sun and other stars generate their energy by nuclear fusion. They realized that if fusion energy generation could be replicated in a controlled manner on Earth, it might very well provide a safe, clean, and inexhaustible source of energy. The 1950s saw the beginning of a worldwide research effort to develop a fusion reactor. The substantial
step two is to skcale it up so e have enough energy to power up an entire city. can t do that yet. then stage three is to commercialize it so there s one in your neighborhood. commercialize it around the entire planet. and just remember that the fuel for a fusion reactor is sea water. hydrogen from sea water is the basic fuel for a fusion reactor. so what s there not to love? clean, efficient, no meltdowns. we re talking about using sea water as a basic fuel. no nuclear waste to speak of. this is clean, efficient. this is mother nature s way of generating energy throughout the universe. it s nice to just feel enthusiastic and excited about something. so that s good to hear. doctor, thaunk you so much. i appreciate your time. my pleasure.
