Some people are really optimistic about new reactor design with super strong magnets. Initial probability is super low here anyways because fusion power has been "soon" many times in the past.
Feb 9, 6:16pm: Engineering breakeven basically means that the reaction generates enough excess energy to power itself, and is explained in this wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_energy_gain_factor
