What they are doing here, if it actually is working and not some flaw in the experimant design, involves a rate of nuclear fusion measured in countable numbers of atoms. The energy released, while purportedly real, is below the threshold of detection, and the energy density is close to zero.

To create a practical energy source, all of these would have to be scaled up by many orders of magnitude. I don't believe that energy could be extracted from such a system as anything other than heat, which means the ability to boil water to produce large quantities of high-pressure steam, continuously.

Perhaps, but that is a long way off when we are not even completely sure that the process works at all.

Thanks! Now I understand even more completely. :-)

It's all relative.
