I think he is just thinking of the big fusion projects at the national labs. The guys there are still very skeptical of Helion and ZAP.
Quoting Upton Sinclair:

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024

they plan to... produce 20 fusion generators a day. That would be roughly 365 GW a year. That means they could produce enough fusion generators to serve the entire US grid in a little over 3 years! Replace the electricity production of the entire world in 7.5 years! Then what? They'll have nearly p...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024

The Polaris doors are in. In just six months, this site has gone from a slab of concrete to a 30,000 sq. ft. facility fit for the first generator to demonstrate net electricity from fusion. https://twitter.com/Helion_Energy/status/1518953559114407938 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FRRoG0uUYAEMryR?form...

Re: Article on laser driven pB11 fusion

Its first demo has produced 10 times more fusion reactions than expected Ok. Initial experiments on laser-triggered chain reactions returned reaction rates a billion times higher than anticipated, leading HB11 to claim in 2020 that it "stands a high chance of reaching the goal of net energy gain we...
