It takes a while to harness the power of nuclear fusion, there is a lot of private money flowing into the research, I know it’s been stated forever that we are right on the verge of a breakthrough, but it never seems to happen.
However, it’s a lot of private and government money flowing into the research what would basically be an unlimited source of energy, so why not continue researching it.
If it can done for 6 minutes like this article says, then it can be done commercially at some point, maybe with technology that hasn’t even been tried yet.

I agree with continuing research but no one should do their energy planning thinking we’re “on the brink”.
i have not seen any evidence they are near to commercializing this. I believe that in the end it will take a series of fusion chambers and the reaction will need to migrate from the start up tokamak to the ignition tokamak and then to the energy generation tokamak and so on through cool down and eventual restart in the start up.
