I've learned a bit too much from Eugene and Werner Von Kerman. Caught my lab on fire with a jet, blew up an experimental hydraulic pump, exploded some really big capacitors, and blew up a side of ham in a centrifuge. I'm a happy guy.

The power output is not even close to the same scale, and it is hardly portable. Exportation and control of the technology shouldn't be a problem. Knowledge of how to build thermonuclear devices is freely available, what prevents your average joe from building one, is the specialized tools and rare resources required to do so.

There are other fusion projects besides ones sponsored by big gov/ big business. For instance General Fusions ITR facility looks to be far more promising than anything else I've seen. ITR doesn't have to involve lasers. In my opinion, lasers are the dumbest way to try and achieve fusion. Lasers emit only around 5% of their energy consumed as light. That is a huge operational impediment. General Fusions device is basically a scaled down and controlled thermonuclear weapon. It is the simplicity of the design that will allow it to succeed where others have failed. Pulse Detonation ITR is the future gentlemen.
