Then if Controlled Hot Fusion is so viable, where is my CHF jet pack or car or water heater?

Huh? I'm not at all sure it's viable either. However, I will say this: at least there's no doubt that hot fusion exists. But anybody who says that fusion of any kind is a serious answer to California's near term water woes is delusional.

near term water woes
***Agreed. I’m talking longer term. Of course, for the last 150 years or so, California’s biggest political battles have been over water.

My favorite plan was to dam up the SF bay.
