It would be good if that happens.

Still, what the fusion people have been trying is one of the most technically most difficult things human have even done -- keep a gaseous plasma contained at 100 million degrees.

Atoms are held together closely in a crystal or lattice structure, creating a better setup for two atoms to fuse. This is what the SAFIRE project is trying to commercialize. In an experimental setting, they are already excess energy and getting self-sustaining reactions.
