Well, nuclear fusion is mentioned in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIuGbHb_b-s&t=1332s and the guy says this:
The biggest challenge for nuclear fusion right now
22:13
is to be able to show first that it can create net power,
22:18
which is power plants that produce more power
22:20
than they consume in creating nuclear fusion reactions.
22:24
That's only been shown to work
22:25
in a lab setting a few times now.
22:27
It has never been shown in a commercial scale plant.
