Shortly after I testified before Congress on our coalition’s legislation to bar NASA from competing with private launch service providers, I approached a co-founder of the US fusion energy program on how to structure a series of prize awards for objective technical milestones to transition fusion development to the private sector. That was in 1992.
Fusion is not going to work until we fix theoretical physics
All the more reason to sequester government funds in a prize fund paying out only on results rather than expending as risk capital.
Agreed?
Stop funding it with government spending, that’ll sort it out
You didn’t answer my question.
Are you trying to keep the government fusion program going for some reason or are you merely ignorant of what it takes to get rid of a government bureaucracy’s technosocialist program?
