Awesome. Thanks.
Great news, but will this unlimited energy become much cheaper for the general population of earth to use?
Or only much cheaper for the companies to produce who will keep sending the same, expensive energy-bills and thus
make rediculous amounts of extra profit?
Technology clearly is on the right track lately, breaking free from oil & gas-addiction,
but global Politics are as backwards & brutal as they were in medieval times. :/
I just hope EVERYONE can benefit from this new development, and not just the CEOs of the Energy companies who will start supplying energy generated this way.

Well, it's still a long way from being practical as a power source. It's been a long battle to get to this point, and there's a lot more to develop. It won't be a viable economic option until it's cost per unit of energy is comparable to the current market. Eventually, nearly every new technology becomes cheaper and more available as time goes on. Look at what you can get in a cell phone these days. The computing power is staggering compared to your average PC/desktop 10 years ago, and for such a low price! So, when the electricity from fusion is cheap enough it will take hold, and should become cheaper as time goes on.
Current electricity price has gone up because the cost of energy in general has gone up due to the increased demand on the finite oil supply/output capabilities. If a new source of power was available, which is completely sustainable, cheap, and safe, you will see some wonderful and wild things. I'm talkin an end of world hunger and poverty, new age of humanity type stuff.
