Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

What on earth does Trump have to do with it?
Seeing that this is private company, I would guess Trump would order it to be shutdown, or tell his supporters to storm it, he could bribe it, grab it by...,
He could order it be given to Elon Musk who will use he fussion energy to mine BITCOIN and make a trillion dollars.
On the other hand Trump could support it, if the rename it
"Fusion for Fascists!", or you could convince Trump that he could use it invade Poland.
I think Trump broke the minds of way to many people. I do not blame Trump, I blame people who somehow still believed MSM. I simply do no get that,
you would figure after 9/11, Iraq war, Anthrax scares, Patriot act, they hate us for freedom propaganda, weapons of mass destruction, that most people would have figured out that your not getting accurate news on MSM. But no.
You don't think he has a few of them in the fossil fuel industry? They dont dream of an unlimited-energy machine, do they?
That's the relation to trump.

So reaching the goal of feeding energy into the grid, for fusion power, may again precede widescale adoption by many years.
