It's about inertial confinement fusion, not inertial electrostatic confinement fusion. Why should they mention Polywell?

The report said Two R&D approaches are being
explored: magnetic fusion energy (MFE) and inertial fusion but no mention inertial electrostatic confinement fusion , as if it was not even worth considering :cry:
