My mind immediately jumped to the fact that the best minds in the world spent decades of effort and tens of billions of dollars (or more?)... and they finally are getting near the ability of just a couple of pieces of split firewood.

Just made me chuckle when I realized that. Here's to hoping they continue to figure things out further.

As I have said in other Fusion discussions, practical application of fusion tech into our lives is likely more than 100 years away.

But this was a first step, and sooner than I expected TBH.  It is irrelevant how little energy net was gained because this was the first time there was any net AT ALL.  We move forward from here.
