False. NIF consumes 100x more energy than is produced by fusion.

It's necessary PR to get the politicians to sign off on a big physics experiment to produce a lot of neutrons in lieu of a nuclear test. You tell them unlimited clean energy, tell them it will be green, tell them it will be cheap and you sell them a NIF. Tell them it is science to replace the bombs in the desert, it will be a hard sell.

You tell them what they want to hear, the truth - no so much.
