Before the official prediction, several global media outlets have talked about the success of the achievement. However, the official communiqué of the Government EE.UU. It's come in the afternoon: after many years of major investments in public money, at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, they've managed to merge two atoms and generate more energy from the dissipated, which is the novelty of having been able to fuse for decades. The US government has announced that the result has been the use of the most powerful lasers in the world and the bombing of a small plasma ball, that it has managed to spend 2.1 megajoule energy and that the fusion reaction that has occurred has generated 2.5 megajoules. "Historic progress," says Jennifer Granholm, US Secretary of Energy. He adds that it will be a "future model".

In any case, they will "need years" to actually implement the new energy model. This is what physics professor Fernando Plazaola said in the Faktoria program of the Basque Country Irratia: "The energy released is not enough to create a fusion power plant, but in any case it ignites hope." However, he warns that although this "discovery" will yield "good results" it will not be a solution: "We have to keep trying to make energy consumption as low as possible, to look for utopian energies along a parallel path is fine, but we have to remain as sustainable as possible because the energy problem remains intact."
