How is this anymore "crackpot" than other approaches to fusion that are being conducted at other labs and universities?

The idea isn’t all that “new”, and is hardly “crackpot”. Otherwise your statement is correct in that Los Alamos continues to work on fusion energy sources - something they pioneered and have had programs for since the Manhattan Project.

Hey, pal let me clear this up, I hate scientists, all of them, I just cannot stand that people who think highly of scientists. I think all the stuff is crackpot. Dark energy is crap. Dark matter, ya sure. Don't get me started on this quantum computing junk. Why LANL ever had quantum computing work is beyond me, at least the got rid of most of it 15 years, since we all know no progress is being made in this area. Now we have some group trying "Fusion" this is just crackpot

The labs do bombs, that is all they do and all they should do. The science is already done. Unless it is mission critical we do not need it at the labs. Fusion is DOE work not NNSA work, quantum is Google work, not NNSA, Dark Matter work is a waste of taxpayer money and should be done at Universities. Epidemics, fuel cells, HIV, astrophysics, balloons, earthquakes, Chaos have no place in an NNSA lab, none. The whole idea that the NNSA labs are "science labs" is nonsense we are nuclear national security labs, got that. We are not even national security labs. Get with the mission or get out.

6:46 your hatred of scientists doesn’t move me, or any awake scientist at all. Perhaps you should get professional help. Meanwhile, I suggest you curtail your blog posts.

This anti-science insane person has distinguished himself from the beginning many years ago with his use of "ya" instead of the more common "yeah." He is nursing a way-past-critical neurosis and psychotic hatred of anything LANL or any research at all. Once in a while, like now, he erupts and will take several days or even weeks to subside and crawl back into the woodwork. Be kind to him, he is not all there.
