Is There a Process That Delivers Energy?
In inertial confinement fusion, which is the process that we're using, it takes a finite amount of fuel in a little target and compresses it. And then creates fusion in the center to light off the little fuel match around it. In combination with laser drivers, this can basically deliver to feasible inertial fusion energy plant. The efficiency of the driver becomes very important.
