Could you specify some more specific resolution criteria? E.g., would a functioning ITER count, or do you want commercial viability?

@rotatingpaguro That’s a good question, I’m thinking about actual commercial viability.

predicts NO

@DanielMoulthrop I'm interpreting this to mean commercial breakeven, as opposed to engineering or scientific breakeven. Is this a fair characterization?

@JamesJimboMedvedik Yes. Commercial break even.
