If the arguments are old, how is that a point in favor of people in the field being unaware of them? There has been 50 years of people arguing against the use of resources in pursuit of this field. You still think people in a field of physics have somehow sheltered themselves from these arguments? You have had a conversation with a physicist, yes? They will shred someone making dubious claims. Further, if you think plasma physicists would go hungry if fusion research ceased, you’re simply wrong. Nobody researches fusion for the paycheck. An industry paycheck for the equivalent quality of work is double.
