They aren't at that stage yet man.  They are still trying to achieve the fundamentals.  My background is not in nuclear physics, though I have friends who are doing research into nuclear and particle physics.  Ive linked you to a number of different research groups trying to explore fusion.  Like most conspiracy theories that say that 'the government would never allow blah blah blah because big business wouldn't allow it' I view this as false :shrug:

Personally I don't think conspiracy theory is part of the argument that forces may thwart the development of fusion as an energy source. To me it seems more like a product of natural selection in the marketplace, given the forces that are at work, and how they have been shown to work time and time again.

Once the genie is out of the bottle though, all bets are off and businesses with capital will rush in rapidly and try to secure permanent market share. Hell if the energy is cheap the profit margin can be sky high . . . .

Anyone remember SimCity3000? Once you got to year 2050, you could drop a clean fusion plant to power shit. I think we will need it much sooner than 2050.

https://lasers.llnl.gov/programs/nif/

"Scientists have been working to achieve self-sustaining nuclear fusion and energy gain in the laboratory for more than half a century. When the National Ignition Facility (NIF) begins ignition experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in 2010, that long-sought goal will be much closer to realization.

NIF's 192 giant lasers, housed in a ten-story building the size of three football fields, will deliver at least 60 times more energy than any previous laser system. When all of its beams are fully operational, NIF will focus nearly two million joules of ultraviolet laser energy on a tiny target in the center of its target chamber – creating conditions similar to those that exist only in the cores of stars and giant planets and inside a nuclear weapon. The resulting fusion reaction will release many times more energy than the laser energy required to initiate the reaction."
