Don't you mean fusion? Fission is separate and we've already achieved it a long time ago.
We've achieved fusion too. We just can't extract more energy than we put into it yet.
Technically they can extract more now, it's just a really really small amount.
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.
Haha, yup! Brain bork moment. :)
