@dfeldman I wouldn’t claim to be an expert relative to anyone working on the projects in your poll, but I was a DOE National Undergraduate Fellow in Plasma Physics + Fusion Energy Science and had a poster accepted at an APS-DPS session, so probably an expert relative to 99.99% of the rest of the population (and know people working at those projects)

@dfeldman anyway, fwiw my vote is “Commonwealth Fusion (or an existing project licensing/buying their stupidly powerful HTS magnets)”, although prior to about 18 months ago it would have been on a stellarator (over either ITER or NIF)

@elfprince13 this is fascinating, thank you. I haven’t heard much about them other than that they get a lot of investment money. I’ll have to read more
