While technically true, there was no harm to the end user in leaving the feature active.

Has an agreement actually been reached? Both sides agree on the terms?

How much was given away to get it?

How will Trump and his stooges spin it?

How long will it last?

I hope you'll forgive me for being skeptical, give what has happened up 'til now.

Most referenced is Star Trek from the 1960s. how much of that is real now in some form or another?

Not aliens with lumps of rubber glued to their heads.

Is thet number thermal output or Electric? I'm no expert put afaik it's a rather significant difference

Net electric, it's in the fscking summary:

Overall, the present design of ARC is expected to produce about 1.13 GW of fusion power, with 500 MW of that extracted as electricity. Some of that (100 MW) will be needed to power the plant's operations, leaving 400 MW to be sent to the grid.
