A comment on The Road Less Traveled to Fusion Energy?. Parent comment
There's just the matter of getting the temperature up to 10x of an ordinary D-T fusion plasma. Non-equilibrium reactors like the polywell try to bypass the problem entirely, but (to my knowledge) it's very hard to maintain a non-thermal state.
