That's a silly title.
The sun doesn't produce a lot of energy because it is hot. The sun produces energy because it is big. All functional experimental fusion reactors operate at much higher temperatures than the sun.

Like 10x for takamak iirc
Its actually pretty "easy" to get hotter than the sun
An electrical arc is as hot as the surface of the sun.
your mom ... no wait 😅

Even if you get as hot as the core, you're not doing the same amount of fission unless you have similar pressure at the same time, and no you don't. It's a bit complicated by the fact the sun is mostly protium, and has low volumetric energy output as a result, but that's the gist.
Did it produce surplus energy?
Shhh, we're talking about heat generation
How many billionaires can be put inside at the same time? Asking for no reason.
“…$30,000 a gram in 2022, almost as precious as a diamond.” 🤨
I though that was strange too. I'm sure you can get a gram of industrial diamond dust for much cheaper.
BP and Shell: 👀
Article says Shell invested $160m in Zap in 2022.
The smart ones are investing in renewables.
