Maybe one day. My bet is that, at best, a commercially built one won't be switched on before 2065. ITER [1] is and will continue to be behind schedule and over budget, pushing back any follow on plans for DEMO [2], let alone the subsequent commercialization of that technology. Of course, there's always hope for a breakthrough.
