Enough with the laser fusion hyperbole
The laser based system has not achieved sustainable fusion and never will. The National Ignition Facility is funded because it provides data for thermonuclear weapon development.
For each firing there is a small metal sphere filled with deuterium/tritium which is blasted by the laser system. Those fuel spheres are hand-made and require careful positioning. On top of that, those super-powerful lasers operate one-shot at a time (a few picoseconds per pulse) and dump so much energy into the steering mirrors and other optical gubbins that it takes hours for them to be ready for the next pulse.
Now, will the magnetic systems produce useful amounts of energy? Possibly, but it is increasingly unlikely that it will be in my lifetime
