NIF is primarily about stockpile stewardship, not energy. That’s not to say there can’t be useful overflow between the two. But, frankly, i find it worrying that a big-shot (no pun intended) guy like Ed Moses feels inclined to paint such a rosy picture to the audience. He should be fair about the risks and uncertainty of the investment he is asking the American people to make, once again. Especially considering the fact that the costs would, once again, dwarf the costs of a more diversified approach to fusion research.
