Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough: Scientist explains what it means for the future | LiveNOW from FOX
U.S. energy officials announced that government scientists in at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory produced the first successful nuclear fusion reaction resulting in net energy gain on Dec. 5. It?s a technology that has the potential to accelerate the planet?s shift away from fossil fuels and produce nearly limitless, carbon-free energy. Dan Clark, a nuclear physicist at the Lawrence Livermore Nat'l Lab, called the moment, "a twinkle in the eye of scientists for 60-70 years." Clark added that the moment wouldn't have been possible without the "decades-long" work done by scientists all around the world.

Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough: scientist calls it 'major step for humanity' | LiveNOW from FOX
U.S. energy officials announced that government scientists in California produced the first successful nuclear fusion reaction resulting in net energy gain. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory said the National Ignition Facility's historic achievement, also known as scientific energy breakeven, occurred on Dec. 5. Michl Binderbauer, the CEO of TAE Technologies, a private company dedicated to commercializing non-radioactive nuclear fusion power and other sustainable technologies called the breakthrough, "a major step for humanity in the right direction." Biderbauer added that the discovery is "transformative," comparing the successful fusion reaction to the first-time a human broke the four-minute mile mark.

LA City Council Scandal: De Leon fights with protester, Cedillo explains refusal to resign
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, "The preliminary investigation revealed that Los Angeles City Councilmember Kevin de León was involved in an altercation. While participating in a local community event, Councilmember de León was approached by multiple community members, who blocked his path of travel as he attempted to leave the building. It was during this encounter that an allegation was made of one male, identified as Jason Reedy, headbutting, pushing, and punching Councilmember de León." De León has faced intense pressure from colleagues, state and national elected officials and activists to resign ever since a leaked audio was released of an October 2021 conversation about redistricting that featured the councilman and others, including Gil Cedillo and Nury Martinez, using racial slurs and blunt talk of political power grabs that has roiled the city for months. Meanwhile, LA City Councilmember Gil Cedillo explained in a press release why he refuses to resign, and despite public outcry, he didn’t break any laws. Cedillo wrote, "I refused to resign before my term ended. That’s not who I am, and I did nothing that warranted it. My life’s work has been about fighting relentlessly for those who do not have a voice – regardless of their ethnic background."
