Inertial confinement fusion is far from being useful for a fusion power plant. It's just a miniature hydrogen bomb.

The currently most interesting design that could actually speed up the timeline is Helion's approach.

Otherwise keep an eye on SPARC and ITER/DEMO. If nothing unexpected happens, commercial fusion power will likely not happen within this century.
