… much of a game changer that is for electricity production in the United States, that's very exciting. It is exciting. And just the rate of progress is so fast now. It was three years ago in one of our DOE's national labs, the National NISIC facility, National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore, that we first got more energy out than energy in fusion combustion in a pellet. So that's inertial confinement fusion with lasers. We have magnetic confinement fusion with, you know, mostly with tokamaks, but also there's other geometries there as well. (47:30–47:46)
