Could this be used to make electricity for the grid?

They're being extremely optimistic! I suspect that practical nuclear fusion is decades in the future.

I agree. But how do they get funding for these projects? I know there's supersalesmen to sell fission nuclear power with the gillions of tons of spent rods to be stored for 10000 years. Is supersalesmanship happening again?
