Of course, without reading the article yet, maybe their sustained reaction has progressed 10-billion times from 0.000000000000000000001 doodads per second all the way to 0.00000000001 doodads per second... Lots of people have produced fusion reactions. The trick is, producing SUSTAINED fusion, which reliably and sustainably releases more energy than is consumed from triggering the reaction.

Well, it's not so much the sustained part as it is the net energy part. Currently, pretty much all fusion tech requires more energy as input than it gives as an output.
