If this is true this could be the answer to most of the energy problems the world is now facing.

Nope, too far away, and too early in the process.
WE need the sustainable energy now and there are enough ways to do that viable now and tested in practice.
The next "working" nuclear energy source is "just around the corner" which has been the mantra for the last 30 years.

Before I celebrate, find out if the Germans cheated on the software again.

Big power companies (oil, gas, coal) wont let it go forward. Chernobyl and Fukushima are the roadblock to continue with further major dependancy on nuclear power, even if "clean" .

I sure hope Volkswagen isn't involved...

Meh, VW faked a few numbers for vehicles that would have been a heck of a lot cleaner than many, many thousands of untested diesels on the road currently. I can sleep at night.

Lol thats about 99% of the worlds population though
True. We should be working on sustainable sources like wind, solar, geothermal and atomic fission now. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't keep working on contained fusion as it may play an important role in years to come.
I haven't delved into the project in depth so I have no way of knowing how true this is and/or how far away it is from becoming a practical source. However it may be the answer to our ever growing energy needs. Thus development must continue on this project and others like it. This is a major step in the right direction.The next "working" nuclear energy source is "just around the corner" which has been the mantra for the last 30 years.

Why do you think oil is so cheap lately?
Overproduction, falling demands and a glut of oil hitting the markets that already have enough oil in stock to supply us for a year over.
Electricity from wind/solar already cheaper per KW/H as natural gas/oil/coal/nuclear produced electricity, tendency dropping even further.
Having nuclear fusing depending on cooled magnets running megawatts of electicity to maintain the containment field? what if the electricity supply gets cut?
Might produce quite good fireworks plasma of a million plus centigrade braking free, never see a wind turbine do that...;)
