There are about 70 companies currently working on making commercial solutions for Fusion producing electricity. And the "100%" expectation is that at least one of them will produce a functional, price competitive solution in the next 10 years! This is a big news, since typical expectation is the last 60 years was always that Fusion for energy will be available in the next "20 years". This is after recent IEEE news of making "net energy positive" Fusion experiment. This, with recent AI breakthroughs, the "singularity is even nearer." Here is an exciting discussion with some people working on it.

Fusion Is Having a Moment - IEEE Spectrum
Last December, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility finally succeeded in forcing the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium to undergo a self-sustained fusion reaction. It was an encouraging advancement, though not exactly a breakthrough. NIF’s small net energy gain didn’t factor in the energy it took to fire up the 192 ultraviolet lasers that initiated the reaction, which lasted “for the briefest blink of a moment,”
