So let's keep throwing good money after bad. If Jeff Bezos isn't willing to bet his own money on this insanity, why does the gubmint keep spending our money on this pipe dream?

I read the list on one of the links to see how new some of these experiments are.

A few seem to be applying a new electric field to the plasma to promote self containment. Sounds a lot like taking a cue from the SAFIRE project.

Why not consider Thorium?

It is less expensive and much safer.

Do really need more nuclear warheads?
