How else are we going to achieve nuclear fission?

Don't you mean fusion? Fission is separate and we've already achieved it a long time ago.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We've achieved fusion too. We just can't extract more energy than we put into it yet.

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Technically they can extract more now, it's just a really really small amount.

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We have made more than we put in to the reaction, but that's a far cry from making more energy than we put into the reactor, or extracting any of that energy at all.

Oh, that makes sense.
