I like the idea of asking people if they’ve heard of aneutronic fusion before, because then if they don’t know about focus fusion, it provides a window to explain the process. It also gets LPP and focus Fusion on various candidates radars– and some of them might want to research the technology more on their own so that they can answer the question with more knowledge the next time it comes up.

Although the Oppenheimer analogy is a vivid one, since the shares Eric is selling are *nonvoting*, I don’t think the shareholders have that much leverage to apply extra pressure. I also feel like Eric and the LPP team are already working as hard and fast as they can, and would benefit from support more than any kind of additional pressure.

As far as investments go, I feel like lots of people are investing some of their portfolios in Focus Fusion because even if its risky, if LPP is successful, the technology could be worth a lot. But success (and any kind of commercial viability) is still probably ~5 years off (if not 10). So its a long-term investment with a lot of uncontrollable factors. And LPP would still benefit from additional government involvement.

The more people we ask though, the more chances that other will find out about it and want to learn more and get involved in spreading the word themselves. . .
