Hold Fusion

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

In a study published in the latest edition of the journal Nature Communications, researchers confirmed that Germany's Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) fusion energy device is on track and working as planned. This "star in a jar" technology could essentially provide Earth with limitless clean energy, forever. Jeff and Anthony have a few questions about this breakthrough, and might be worried about how close this is to the last level of a video game. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
