I don't believe they're attempting fusion at this point, they're just perfecting the technolgy, so one day they can produce the 2-3 million degrees needed to initiate fusion.

I don't think fusion will ever be a good source of energy(not in our lifetimes at least), maybe propulsion systems and stuff like that, but no fusion power plants.While fusion might be an efficient release of energy, extracting any useful work from it is far from efficient.As far as I know, the only way to contain it at those temps is with a strong magnetic field, which itself requires huge amounts of energy, more than can be extracted from the fusion.
