Well I certainly don't dismiss it out of hand. I suppose when we discuss plasma cosmology we need to narrow down WHOSE plasma cosmology since there are variants out there which go to different extremes. If you mean Lerner's or Peratt's version then there is much of interest. If you mean Don Scott's or Wallace Thornhill's version I think electrifying the stars is perhaps going too far. Check out this link for some arguments against electric star theory:

I guess my concern is not so much that plasma and electromagnetism are involved in galaxy shaping as it is whether it is the CAUSE of galaxies. If galaxies begin with a "seed" body then the plasma theory only has something to say about the subsequent birthing process and not the origin itself. We still do not know enough about the ultradense matter in the galaxy cores. Do these bodies periodically burp out new stars? We just don't know.

the whole idea of a blackhole is something crushing under its own gravuty? If so then the magnet model of a red giant can be the base of measuring a blackhole

As long as plasma cosmology retains the alternative status, an assortment of crankish ideas will harbour around it. Still that can't diminish whatever sound basis there is in plasma models.

What about a simple gravity model for formation of structure? Why is it better to invent another energy source for structure?
