Sure, and it was "universally accepted" in 1600 that the Sun revolved around the earth.
Fundamental change in mainstream perceptions, even with the advantage of the internet - takes a little while to set in. In fact Robin's 'outrageous' suggestion is almost as likely as induction of a "localized plasma"- which, let's face it, is far from localized. The final analysis may be a hybrid of both. The sun's magnetic field is certainly important - and provides the necessary containment, as in a Tokomak (inverted tokomak); but it has been claimed by more than a few modern observers (not restricted to Randy) that the magnitude of thermal transfer cannot derive from any known inductive process, and must be at least partly self-generated. From: Axil Axil It is now universally accepted that the reservoir of energy stored in the sun's atmospheric magnetic field is what heats the localized plasma in the corona.

Most of it takes place in the Corona, which then heats the surface (explaining why the Corona is hotter). Because the fusion is catalyzed by Hydrinos, the energy appears in the form of fast electrons rather than gamma rays, which is why few/no gammas are detected.
