You can't jump from idea to production power plant in one step. This is research about the fundamental science involved. What they're doing is incredibly difficult and complex. They have a plasma at millions of degrees mere centimeters from superconductors at near absolute zero. The field geometry and interactions are so complex it brings even current supercomputers to their knees. The device wasn't even possible to simulate until the late 90s using the biggest machines in the world.

What they've already demonstrated is a tremendous accomplishment. But apparently if it doesn't go from idea to an option in door dash in 6 months flat that's not good enough for people here.
