The problem with Fusion right now as I understand it is sustaining the reaction.
We can get it to happen but keeping that reaction going is the big problem.
Because the neutrons produced hold 80% of the energy. And keeping THOSE in the mass is difficult, since the neutrons have a, well, neutral charge.
