Is it a "Mr. Fusion" sort of device you can use to power your car or home?
Or does it require a gigantic 10 sq km facility to reach that efficiency, but where the result can power Germany?
Or does it require special conditions, like cheap fusion from sea water at 1000m depth where Puerto Rico has an advantage over Nebraska?
Or massive amounts of cooling?
What materials are needed? If cobalt, will the DRC be the new Saudi Arabia?
Will the 9x new energy production be used for carbon capture after the Great Heat of 2028?
These give very different answers.
