The US achieved a major nuclear fusion breakthrough. Here's why fusion power is still decades away

Summary by Ground News

Fusion is a nuclear reaction that combines two atoms to create one or more new atoms with slightly less total mass. The difference in mass is released as energy, as described by Einstein's famous equation, E = mc2. Scientists at the U.S. Government's National Ignition Facility in California have demonstrated, for the first time, what is known as fusion ignition.
