National Ignition FacilityAccording to scientists at a government lab in Livermore, CA, all we need to do in order to save our planet from its energy woes is create a star right here on Earth. It's that simple! All joking aside, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are 100% serious and believe they've come up with a way to use the world's largest laser (it's about 3 football fields long) to trigger a nuclear reaction so powerful that it will make a star form right on the surface of the Earth. We've written about the laser itself before, but read on to learn more about how they intend create the mini-star and solve our power issues with near limitless energy.1
