I’m not convinced of the postulates in this part of the OP’s point-of-view:

Duke Leto wrote:

When we start with the idea that Lerner’s plan is the one that would put the most power into the hands of the people who most want to promote equitable societies, I don’t think LPP or anybody else needs $3 trillion or $12 trillion to prop the world up.

To see why Lerner’s plan gets the FF-generator-world started right, look at this post by Duke Leto in the other discussion he started on the topic (he already linked it above, but here it is again: Focus Fusion Macroeconomics).

Which of the following is the ideal scenario from the viewpoint of social responsibility on the part of the patentholders:

1) License the technology for a fixed fee per generator. (Lerner’s plan.)
2) Take a fixed licensing fee per kWh and let the market build the generators.
3) Build the generators yourself, take the market value of the produced electricity and reinvest as much as possible in completely new industries. (What I would do if I was Lerner.)”

1) and 3) are actually two aspects of the same scenario: Lerner licenses the tech, people build the generators, and people use the enterprise to pay it forward. And doesn’t second item above, pay-by-the-kWh, exactly oppose the goal of the developers, to free the end-user from endless requirements by the producer?

Why not start your own group to build the generators and pay LPP the unit fee? Get a co-op going of engineers and machinists, and/or an LLC going of like-minded people who have been sitting on cash, and who see the opportunity to make a lasting material improvement in the lives of their brothers and sisters.

By the way, how does one “take the market value of the produced electricity and reinvest as much as possible in completely new industries”? Is that something like getting people to buy shares in the projected income of the enterprise, or like an IPO?

Did you see that video feature on a bread company in California in which employee/co-op members average $65,000 – $70,000 annually, and the president’s is in the same range? Manufacturers and operators do have non-mercenary and altruistic goals, and some have the standard operating procedures, and history, to prove it. See for example, “Alvarado Street Bakery” and “Worker-owned companies”.

The Dense Plasma Focus device will put the power of shared, economic self-determination into the hands of ordinary, team-based, educated people better than any previous invention.

We need someone with the resources and willpower to leverage the benefits of a Focus Fusion industry.

Namely you!
