Then it is not a "source" of clean energy. We certainly can make fusion work, after we initiate a nuclear explosion. And we have lots of fusion energy, heating the planet.
We haven't gotten close to break even. And even if one of the Tokomaks makes break even, it is EXTREMELY complex. You need to get the power source to under $2/watt installed, to compete. Nuclear plants are around $2/watt, and the fuel cost is almost negligible, compared to carbon sources.
