For decades, government scientists have toiled away trying to make nuclear fusion work. Will commercial companies sprint to the finish?

    That is what I think the owner is doing here. Scamming venture capital firms for a tech that cannot work.

    And I mean, its not like I have any proof. I can’t read minds; maybe he is a true believer.

    But this company feels like those companies back in the 80s that sold tickets to mars, for the rockets they were ‘just about to build’; a scam.

    This isn’t a research firm. This isn’t trying to find the exact settings and layouts to make fusion possible. If the article can be taken at face value, this is a company to make a commercial fusion plant. And I find that, in 2023, patently absurd.

        I agree. I’m very much for more research into fusion. I’m still somewhat skeptical of it ever being ‘infinite cheap energy’. But even if it never becomes a ‘good energy source’, the advancement of knowledge is valuable. So its not like I think fusion is a scam overall.

        But I think this particular company is.
