The technical hurdles to inertial confinement fusion are so absurd. Even were the output energies substantial enough to justify the cost of a production generator it would take decades to have a functioning mechanism to deliver the fuel with beam integrity. Physicists are amazing at trivializing engineer feats and love nuclear weapons funding. This is weapons research and that's it, talking about any other scientific validity has always been a weak attempt to give it some moral ground
