Personally I’m just thrilled to see the NYTimes writing about tokamak economics, polywell, and boron fusion. Maybe the word is starting to get out, and a little big-fusion money can be pried loose for alternative approaches.
I know nothing about the engineering and economics of switches, and I’d like to see other people’s views on that. I think if FF simply demonstrates scientific feasibility, it’ll go a long way towards raising funds both for switch development and for other aneutronic designs.
