It always sounded too good to be possible as a source of electricity.
Zero mining (the fuel is hydrogen), zero greenhouse gases, zero waste
stream, zero meltdown capability, zero weaponization.  But visit the
National Ignition Facility in Livermore, California, and you see
massive lasers poised to focus 500 terawatts of energy for a billionth
of a second on a BB-sized target of hydrogen isotopes.  Impressive
early tests suggest that successful ignition could occur in the next
few months.  Sequence such ignitions rapidly, and you have a
one-gigawatt clean power reactor.  Laser physicist Ed Moses is
director of the National Ignition Facility...

NewsTrust and our Long News initiative to find good journalism about
the future of energy -- with a particular focus on low carbon
technologies and innovative solutions that can scale quickly into
terawatts.  This News Hunt runs from June 7 - 20 and is intended as a
companion for the Ed Moses SALT talk, to help share quality news and
information about this complex topic.
