Never mind, I saw it in a store tonight. It mainly covers NIF and Helion, comparing Helion to David and NIF to Goliath. There were also mentions of Tri Alpha and General Fusion as other Davids. ITER was mentioned briefly as well. Nice publicity for Helion and the other two ventures. Helion needs a couple tens of million dollars, and hasn’t got it yet. No mention of LPP, although I did see the phrase “focusing on fusion”, or something like that. No mention of EMC2, even, although there’s a quote from Robert Hirsch complimenting the fusion startups, which some who were fusion researchers during the ’70s may find bitterly ironic. Also some fusion naysayers get their oars in as well.
