This is not the proof of concept for fusion power that ad-farmer articles are saying it is. Fusion power, if it's even possible with technology we can imagine, is probably more than 60 years away, barring the creation of sentient artificial intelligence.
The fusion reaction produced more energy than the 2mJ laser input, but the lasers drew over 200 mJ from the grid to get that input. Fusion in a star happens under incredible pressure and temperature, located at the bottom of an enormous gravity well. The immense gravity of the sun is holding the hydrogen together very densely in a way that facilitates fusion, which is extremely difficult to even partly replicate on Earth.
Seconded about the middle east cucks though.

The other thing is, the fusion in the sun is just barely possible. It happens very sparsely. And the actual heat produced is similar to a compost heap. So, we have to beat the sun by leaps and bounds... As others have said, I highly doubt this is the one.
