Literally none of the projects running will ever lead to so much as a single erg of commercial power. They might spin off interesting plasma materials-processing tech. It would be much more expensive to build a fusion power plant than a similar-capacity fission plant, but fission is already uncompetitive, and falls farther behind by the day. Start thinking hard about uses for stable contained plasma that doesn't fuse. Advantage is, it doesn't need to be especially hot. What they have already is more than hot enough for any plausible use.
