Wow, this is some crazy stuff. If it works it will be very impressive. If clean fusion can really be achieved in a cost effective efficient manner it would be an amazing thing. There are some great interviews with business folks and researchers involved in alternative energies at http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid92 which are useful on these subjects.
