The announcement that we finally got "more" energy out of a fusion reaction than we put into it is...great? But it does not mean we are anywhere close to having fusion power plants. This is mostly a "raw science" breakthrough. It's important on the road to getting fusion...someday.
But we should still be building fission power plants today. Insane that we aren't. Climate change is very real and very scary. The fact that we won't use the single best tool in our arsenal to make abundant electricity to de-carbonize the world is just baffling to me.
