Aren’t we already setting up to support all forms of aneutronic fusion? My understanding is that as we gather the resources, we support the program with that which requires the least amount of resources, just happens to be the most transparent, and also has a stated schedule and plan to achieve it.
Beyond that lies the land of huge cryogenic electromagnets to develop for every scaling test. And those uncharted waters are going to take much more resources than LPP.
