In my experience, there is an increase in awareness of mainstream fusion researchers regarding the DPF. Many are naturally skeptical, but most are interested to see how things work out. They don’t outright dismiss it. They say it’s plausible, wish there was more peer reviewed literature about it, commiserate with the funding shortages, overall supportive. But as scientists, they can’t upgrade it from “side show” until it proves itself. Many say they are following the progress, and when pressed about its chances of success, they say, “I don’t have enough information to evaluate that.”

That is a true statement, and so we must continue with the due diligence of getting the experiments done so that there will, indeed, be more information to evalutate these statements.
