As you should be. There is a lot of press out there about "get rich quick" schemes for fusion which have little to no foundation in plasma physics. This is an example of real progress being made in magnetic confinement. It's not promising a burning reactor in less 10 years (ahem...).
All told, the mainstream scientific community has been very responsible lately in what claims they make about fusion. It's the contractors and startups who think career scientists don't know what they're doing that are over-hyping their pet schemes.
I honestly wish them the best of luck, but what I resent is the credibility gap that fusion scientists work under due to their broken promises.
