As a counterpoint, I would suggest "Voodoo Fusion Energy" by Daniel Jassby, PPPL, from April 2019: https://www.aps.org/units/fps/newsletters/201904/voodoo.cfm

But he does say: "This discussion excludes Tokamak Energy and Commonwealth Fusion from the voodoo class despite their preposterous and insupportable declarations of near-term electrical power production, solely because their schemes are based on tokamaks. [snip] We also exclude LPP Fusion, because its DPF does produce meaningful levels of D-D fusion neutrons (3xE11 n/pulse), as the DPF has done since the 1960’s."
