I'm excited to see what they can do, but its important to remember they are the only fusion device with a marketing department. Pulsed power generation would be a problem for any power plant, and its viability is predicated on its ability to reset rapidly. Helion needs to demonstrate their 12T compression ignition works, then need to demonstrate the reactor can reset quickly, and they need to demonstrate they can generate enough power from the expanding magnetic field. Its an awesome design, its just their marketing material has led people into believing we are on the verge of fusion power, which we are not. Also note, I am not against private companies competing, or marketing their product, just remember that it's not quite as great as they claim.
