I also watched that video, and was also a bit dismayed. It seemed to me that a lot of projects with the very low Q numbers weren't at the point of going for high Q numbers. The project I follow is Polywell[1], and my understanding is they've been working on confirming the physics of their approach (which involves 'wiffle ball' confinement) and so have not attempted pushing for break even energy production. The video was eye opening though, I had no idea that high temperature super conductors were set to revolutionize tokomaks. If the potential is there, it seems like the prudent thing to do would be to reset the ITER project, and redesign utilizing the current generation of high temperature super conductors. But I'm just an interested observer, what do I know? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell
