As yet, you do not have a product.
You are pitching a dream, a great big beautiful dream.
It is an inherently positive theme.

Sell the Dream and Sell the Dreamer:

Innovation often yields surprises,
but seldom are these innovations transformative.
Fire
The wheel
Electricity
and now,
the most important innovation in human history.
Harnessing a quasar in a bottle.
Aneutronic fusion.

Through the persistence, dedication and talents of a single man this vision is within reach.
Eric Lerner, ignoring the opinions of others in the field of plasma physics, has extended
that branch of science into new realms.

It is upon the shoulders of such giants that society may soon stand.

Could inject some humor:

Fire:
Scene from “Quest for Fire” where the main character witnesses fire being made, by hand, for the first time. The actor did a splendid job of expressing overwhelming awe.

The wheel:
A cart with stone wheels gets loose, rolls down hill, right through the village huts and a villager comments “Oh sure Thad, the wheel, another great idea”.

Electricity:
Scene from Frankenstein where the switch has been thrown, huge bolts of electricity are flying all around and the scientist is yelling “it’s alive, it’s alive.”

Harnessing a quasar in a bottle:
Astronaut during EVA opens Mason jar, reaches out and scoops up a quasar.

Eric Lerner:
A photo of Eric with a huge demented looking smile.

Ignoring the opinions of others:
Eric at the podium pointing at a diagram of DPF when the audience (a bunch of sciencey looking guys in lab coats) start throwing wadded up pieces of paper and yelling “you’re crazy, you’re nuts.”
