This is a vital step for our future energy needs, and only NIF is on the threshold of doing this. Right behind this there is the international HiPER project, which will take the work forward once NIF has achieved break-even with a single shot. HiPER will build a demonstrator reactor to show how continuous grid level energy output can be achieved. See the web site and watch the movie on http://www.hiper-laser.org/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
