Interesting but very skeptical.
Hydrogen fusion generates neutrons.
Neutrons activate surrounding elements.
Neutrons don’t transfer much thermal energy.
Other methods use very rare elements.

Goal posts stuck at 50 years.

From the website:

The lithium-proton fusion reaction is preferred because it generates virtually no neutrons (thereby supporting aneutronic fusion) or radiation and has strong energy output. A proton is a hydrogen atom stripped of its electron; lithium (Li) is a light, non-radioactive element that is used in lithium-ion batteries and many other industrial applications. Hydrogen-lithium represents a clean, and abundant fusion fuel cycle making it the ideal fuel source for EFS’s commercial fusion solution.

Interesting, and surprising that the only need $10 million in capital for the next stage.

Private investors only ... no stock symbol.

Hope for the best but have heard this kind of claim too many times in the past.

As the saying goes - Controlled fusion is and shall always be the technology of the future.

Maybe for once finally, the future is now.

On the other hand, solid state fusion is looking very promising after 30 years in the wilderness
