The reasons as to why the distance from creating net energy is so great aren’t very obvious to me.

Can this be put more simply? To be clear, having a Q of 1 means a reactor can sustain itself, but not create a net amount of energy. A reactor of Q = .75 is producing 75 percent of its own energy for sustenance, but requires another 25% from another power source in order to yield fusion reactors of any sort…?

How does pB11 factor into these results?
