The research leading to the breakthrough was actually for the purposes of our nuclear arms arsenal, but nonetheless it can be leveraged to meet global energy needs. With AI-assisted modeling (due to the ultra-high complexity of all the factors involved), it's pretty clear that more steady advancement, such as the aforementioned breakthough, are going to occur (sort of like Moore's Law for microprocessor performance improvements) with greater frequency. With various groups around the world working on fusion advancements, I believe the consensus is 20 years out for practical grid-connected fusion Mickey. So that's pretty solid news.
