I’ve been following the recent news about it. Sounds like it’s a ways off, but very promising. Hopefully the next generation will be able to harness it.

In all seriousness, this is guardedly optimistic and exciting news.

It is still progress. Sounds like there has been some progress with fuel cell technology as well.

Only because making this technology commercially available and viable is a big hurdle.

This approach is so far away from being viable it's almost laughable, which is sad at the same time. They were close to breakeven a few years ago, so now they have finally achieved that milestone it means nothing really. We're not talking about another factor of 2 or 3 needed, they are still orders of magnitude away from anything useful. Being cynical this looks mostly like hype to me, which is nothing unusual for LLNL
You misspelled hype.
