After fifty years of public debate about whether it was even - TopicsExpress

After fifty years of public debate about whether it was even possible, science got it right the first time at the National Ignition Facility, which came on line in 2010. It took gobs of cash, and eleven years of construction to build 192 beams of laser light housed inside a ten-story building that covers three football fields. It can deliver more energy in a tenth of a billionth of a second than is generated by the entire US electrical grid at any moment. In one second it can boil fifty Olympic-sized swimming pools at sixty million degrees Fahrenheit. When that intense heat was focused on a pencil-eraser-sized gold capsule containing a fuel pellet, for one ten-billionth of a second, an amazing thing happened - a leap toward creating controllable fusion, a process as familiar as the sun, which has burned in fusion for a billion years. The goal is energy production: capture the heat, make steam, turn turbines, with no nuclear waste. In 2013, scientists reached a milestone toward their goal to ignite a contained and controlled fusion reaction that will produce ten to a hundred times the amount of energy that is put in. For the first time, the amount of energy released by the reaction exceeded the amount of energy absorbed by the fuel. With fusion, you get out more than you put in. Lets Pray: Dear God, ignite my soul with a fusion-fire of love so that my capacity for compassion and action exceeds the sum of its parts. Amen. Heres a Thought: With God you put in a little, and you get out a lot.
