Now while I welcome this amazing breakthrough, it does not realistically help us with our planet's immediate or even medium term energy needs.

Liquid Fluoride Thorium reactors are much more achievable in the short term, as they use technology already successfully trialled at Oak Ridge in the 60s, and offer all the advantages of safety and scale that fusion promises.

Mind you, as the world is running out of Helium, thanks to balloons, then perhaps fusion will be useful to generate that.
