It’s been 33 years since I read my first article about a “successful” test of nuclear fusion. I’ve read several since then. This morning’s email from the NYT could have just been a copy paste of them all.

I understand that great science moves slow. I’m just tired of hearing about it decades before practical application.

Sorry. Salty.

Agree. One physicist on Twitter said it’s essentially a nothing burger. But if it makes more people aware of nuclear fusion, that’s good I guess.

Merry Christmas old friend. Happy new year! Hope to see you in person in 2023. Onward!
