Have you watched The Imitation Game? This is exactly the same question that the antagonist had about Turing's computer. "The human computers can do 10 things a day and your machine does 0 things a day". Well, yeah, until you get it working it's useless. But once it works it does all the things. Getting a fusion reactor to work is trivial; at least one 12 year old has done it [1]. Getting net energy out of the reactor is much more difficult. The point of the funding is to figure out how to increase the gain factor. Once that's figured out, the rest (manufacturing and deploying reactors) is comparatively trivial.
