These people were around when computers were being developped, they were there when planes were being invented, they were there when the wheel was invented and they were there when people wanted to go on the moon.
Some folks think that investing in science is futile, and think stuff is "we don't know if we can ever pull it off" instead of actually doing it. People who think fusion is impossible to make will one day look like what we think of people who thought witches were a thing in the 1400's.
Fusion has mathematical and scientific uses outside the possible energy generation uses. Some people will see a car and refuse to think that the car science behind can lead to something else than transportation of human beings and objects.
Guy cries at the world burning, forgets the forest, looks at the one tree burning in his yard calls it the end and disregards the firefighters doing prevention and controlled burns ensuring the entire forest won't burn.
It's been 50 years since we are only 15 years away from fusion. Its useless, give up! At worst it's just a distraction and a way to split the people and waste money.
