The scientists used lasers to fuse two light atoms into a single one, releasing 3.15MJ (megajoules) of energy from 2.05MJ of input – roughly enough to boil a kettle.

Why do we even study this? Renewables are the only way. This is a waste of money which is a finite resource.

You’re right! We should power everything by burning charcoal.

I wasn’t being sarcastic at all. OP wants renewables, and charcoal is renewable.
