The US National Ignition Facility has achieved even higher energy yields since breaking even for the first time in 2022, but a practical fusion reactor is still a long way off

    How would you move the power down to earth?

    Last time I read up on it it was via converting the energy into microwaves and beaming it down.

      I think masers (microwave lasers) are the new theory for achieving this, previously it was beaming microwave down much like your microwave oven beams your food.
