From Bob Mumgaard at the All-In Summit: Nuclear fusion and the potential for energy abundance

  1. Concept produces actually fully ionized plasmas (Paper airplane)
  2. The plasma can be heated (1 keV electrons) (Montgolfier brothers)
  3. The plasma approaches fusion conditions (triple product > 1E19 keV/m3/s) (Manned gliders)
  4. Net gain energy is demonstrated (Q>1) (Wright brothers)
  5. Net electricity is produced (Douglas)
  6. Plant has competitive LCOE (Boeing)
