Scientists at Sandia Labs have created temperatures of 3.6 billion degrees Fahrenheit. To put that in perspective, it is only about 15 million degrees Fahrenheit at the center of the sun.
You should read the whole article, but they have been able to duplicate the results consistently. Even more interesting, they don't understand how it is happening. They just know that they can do it over and over again, meaning it's not some one time fluke.
Here is the really interesting part: At a certain point in the process, the machine is emitting more energy than it takes to get the process started. In other words, scientists have stumbled onto an entirely new way to generate energy. From the article:
"Sandia consultant Malcolm Haines theorizes that some unknown energy source is involved, which is providing the machine with an extra jolt of energy just as the plasma ions are beginning to slow down."
Yes, we are runnning out of oil, but we've got lots of other options that are going to replace oil, and will likely cost less and pollute much less. We have a bright future ahead of us--literally. My prediction--over the next hundred years, energy prices will actually drop. Plan for it.
