Rising Star
No, I'm not talking about some guy in a garage tinkering with magnets claiming to have made a free energy machine. I'm talking about the NIF which is a government funded, multi-billion dollar enterprise set on revolutionizing nuclear power production.
"The world's largest and highest-energy laser, the National Ignition Facility (NIF), was dedicated on May 29, 2009. In 2010, NIF will begin experiments that will focus the energy of 192 giant laser beams on a BB-sized target filled with hydrogen fuel. NIF's goal is to fuse the hydrogen atoms' nuclei and produce NET ENERGY GAIN – the same fusion energy process that makes the stars shine and provides the life-giving energy of the sun."

Check it out. The website is full of awesome videos, animations, and pictures explaining in layman's terms how the NIF works. It gives me hope for the future!
