Fusion breakthrough is a noteworthy step
The headline implies that the &quot;breakthrough&quot; (why the scare quotes?) is a dead end, and thus contradicts its own subtitle, which is &quot;Just one more step on the long road to commercialization&quot;.<p>&gt; <i>As Lawrence Livermore director Kim Budil said during the announcement, this result is a necessary first step.</i><p>Correct.  Has anybody even been claiming it&#x27;s anything other than that?
