The wall, in this case, is power positive sustained (and contained) reaction. Fusion power doesn’t exist and can’t do a damned thing until that wall is reached. Once it’s reached I’ll admit we’ve no practical idea where the next wall is going to be.
And yes, absolutely, fund baby fund, keep making those Zeno steps… just don’t write another article promising me that fusion / Jetson cars / AGI / Unobtanium is nearly here.

Did we read the same article? Helion's entire design strategy is to sidestep sustaining fusion plasmas. It's unclear if it will work. But it's theoretically sound. Your wall is a chain-link fence.
