There is no such "threat".

Investors are being defrauded. Money that could be going for important, useful research is being diverted to pockets of fraudsters promising sky castles.



There's no telling that that money would be going to renewable research anyway. So why all of this concern? There is no imminent decision between the two. Those investors would not be spending the money on endeavors you care about. If it is a fraud, then let that money be wasted to prove the concept a fraud once and all. You should welcome that, as that would further your position in a definitive way before the public.

No Fraud does damage , it's not money wasted to disprove a fusion is viable , its resources and time just wasted. Just because "oh that money will never be used for other stuff anyways" doesn't mean one shouldnt voice for better utilisation of it.

Theranos was Fraud , doesn't mean we've proved minitiarized blood tests are impossible


That is an excellent point conveyed excellently and I agree with it.
