Now this sounds interesting. We all remember cold fusion (fizzle) and of course we have nuclear reactions with their nasty side products. With lasers we may in fact achieve a form of energy creation the will be limitless:
Scheduled for completion in 2010, the massive NIF laser is expected to prove to the world that laser fusion will work and should be taken seriously.

odd, i could have sworn we already had achieved Inertial Confinement Fusion. But this article seems to want you to believe this is all new *shrug*

looks like they've made some low yeilds of sporatic fusion before with the technique, but never the full violent \"implosion\" they were looking for. Yet![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I like the NIF coz it's laser glass it made in a continuous process that looks like DELICIOUS CANDY![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
