ICF is even less practical than MCF, and MCF is not. We will with certainty not get commercially competitive, or even usable, energy from fusion. Any money spent on that prospect is badly misdirected. Support fusion research to direct money to support plasma physicists, or to keep certain exotic-tech military contractors afloat, or to drive superconducting electromagnetics.

ICF is pretty much bomb research masquerading as civilian fusion research. Always has been. Any money spent on it is not at all badly misdirected, it's rather accurately directed, you could say.

  "So to speak". Precisely directed, anyway.
