Fusion Is a Terrible Way to Make Electricity

No, the top comment is totally unsunbstantiated. It starts by fighting a strawman: "I get the impression that you pressume fusion will help tackle climate change." Even if there was perhaps some such notion, it is not the thesis of the video.

Then another strawman "don't be absurd, plasma is so rarefied so that poking a hole in the reactor wouldn't do anything", while video is talking about something else: immense energy stored in magnetic field of the superconductive magnets.

So I wonder, why are you so quick in "smear campaign" allegations?

I got the impression that the video is more about getting real with your expectations. If you want energy, renewables are way to go, instead of hoping for energy from fusion that is still, and will remain for a long time, more of a scientific experiment than commercial undertaking.
