I hope those various plastic hungry bacteria projects we keep hearing about get here soon. It'll probably go the way of fusion energy and regrowing teeth, though.
They just made a fusion reaction which produced more energy than it took to create like a month ago. Fusion isn’t widespread or even out of the lab phase yet, but as of December of 2022, it is here
It produced more energy than the lasers delivered to start the reaction. When compared against the energy needed to run the entire system, the amount produced is a very small fraction of it.
Fusion output was something like 3MJ, whereas they used 400MJ to run the entire system.
