Time is money. The switch problem took up a lot of time that wasn’t spent on actual experimentation and so now the project is in overtime compared to the initial estimates. It was a very small budget to begin with, so it’s not much of an overrun. Two company coffee budgets.

Although as a percentage, that switch problem is pretty big.

What I’m saying is don’t downplay the costs. Until LPP or another alternative demonstrates feasibility, it’s all running cost. Hence you will notice the LPP website has a link for investors – as they could use more (this is not a solicitation – just a point of fact. Education : )) Not a huge cost, but it hasn’t hit the point of return, and we can’t be sure when it will.

If it turns out to be possible, I don’t think fusion will ultimately cost that much. But getting there will still take a reasonable investment, which is required NOW.

And this is the reasonable case to be making to the EV community. If you want to open up a vast supply of electric energy for your EV’s, you need to start tackling the fusion problem now and in earnest. A great strategy involves investment in fusion alternatives, as government is covering the big projects that won’t be online for decades, but the shorter projects, while considered to be higher risk, also carry the possibility of a quicker, much bigger ROI, and major bragging rights.

Don’t wait for it to happen by itself. Some expenditure required!
