The key thing is how much energy you actually produce, not whether you are close to equilibrium or not.

And this says a lot about the difference in attitude between big tokamak-based projects and FF. From what I have read, its sounds a lot more like those projects are more interested in controlled scientific discovery and research than they are about creating a power source. As far as I am concerned, if we were getting large amounts of net energy from FF because tiny 10-dimensional space monkeys were found to be dancing inside the plasmoids and making the p-boron fuse, then go, monkey, go!

Well stated.

(Go monkeys!)
