and yet they are indeed designing and planning for practical power plants using this technique. You have not done as much homework as you would like to think
So is Rossi. So are the "magnetic fusion" guys. I suspect Rossi will deliver a pracital power plant before the NIF does. I'm quite familiar with the NIF. I've done consulting work for (and at) LLNL (though not on anything fusion-related).
And again...you're changing the subject. This thread is about LANR/CF, not the NIF. Since you're so convinced that LANR is "not real", and you've "read every paper on the subject", surely you can describe your scientific objections to the concept.
