My understanding is that progress with the stellerator has been very slow.  I did hear something a few months ago about a breakthrough with conventional tokamak technology, but nothing since.  I guess like some here with regard to quantum computing, I'm not holding my breath.  Were someone to demonstrate actual over unity containment with a roadmap to commodification it might be time to reassess, but there remains the density problem.  The energy density of a litre of unleaded is pretty astounding.

As to the idea that fusion will "solve" any problems, I am dubious.  Humans have a near perfect track record of abject stupidity.  All of our advances in energy transmutation, from steam to internal combustion to nuclear, have simply allowed us to do more bad things; more sprawling environmental destruction, larger wars...  Frankly, a South American or African peasant with a Mr.Fusion and a goat is a terrifying prospect.
