Working, affordable to build nuclear fusion. We've just had the first case of getting more energy out of a fusion reaction than the amount of needed to create it, and that's major.
The next step is for that to be repeated. Then the costs brought down. Because once we can start to harness fusion reactions the energy needs of the entire world are solved.

I expect to see wide scale implementation within 10 years honestly. Now that we've gone from proof of concept, to actually producing more energy than it takes to create the reaction the next real hurdle is the cost of creating the initial energy burst. But now that we can create the energy, there's going to be a race to market, because the first to start selling fusion reactor power plants.... they're only gonna be mega rich.
