Lockheed Martin thinks it can make fusion power a reality within a decade (economist.com)

If it's anything like the F-35 (another Lockheed project) the final product will be the size of a building and available for purchase in 30 years, not a decade.

Still, it's nice to hear of a major fusion research breakthrough from a company that actually has the resources to do it. Too many fusion "breakthroughs" are total scams that most of us are pretty jaded.
