That's completely irrelevant to efficiency. It's objectively a terribly inefficient technology as it stands now for watt generated per dollar spent.

- relkor 11y agoUsing watt's generated per dollar as a metric of success for fusion research (emphasis mine) is a false analogy. No commercial fusion power plant exists, however you seem to want to hold research reactors constructed for the purpose of discovery to the same financial standard as operating coal power plants. When the first commercial fusion reactor is turned on then we can bemoan capital costs using real data. Until then, don't compare apples and oranges.
