Today I learned you can register a patent for a device that doesn’t work.

Might not be this time. Just the other day I was thinking something might be in the works and perhaps will be commercially viable within 10 years.
That would account for the U.S increasing oil production and taking over the world market.

A lot of our foreign policy is centered around oil producers — Saudi Arabia and neighbors, and Russia.
Huge geopolitical repercussions if oil becomes less important.

Common practice. Done in high tech all the time.

Since everyone knows that Lockheed Martin is really Stark enterprises, this should be no surprise...

It has been the case forever. You do not need a working device to obtain a patent.
A compact fusion reactor such as envisioned by Lockheed has a much greater chance of working than the “cold fusion” scams we have had long discussions of on freerepublic.
Talk about a golden age if it happens! The U.S. Should use such dominance to extend its superpower status for the next hundred years, and to exploit the resources of the Solar System.

Nuclear power whether through fusion or traditional fission is the answer to limitless cheap electric power. Consider the billions wasted on windmills, and solar farms which could never provide even a fraction of our electric needs. If that money had been invested in developing new nuclear technology we would have no concerns about electric power and the environmental hysteria about green house gases from environmentalists would be crushed. I am sure that if this new fusion technology were perfected, environmental luddites would find some problem with it and be demanding more worthless windmills and solar farms.
