Once they figure out how to scale it up the results could be amazing! But, like you said Slick, one step at a time.

Let's hope that one of those doesn't melt down and destroy New York City or something.

Fusion reactors don't meltdown and are unlikely to destroy NYC, or even anything larger than several hundred meters in diameter. First of all, they produce little or no harmful (gamma) radiation, which is produced by fission and which is the sole "component" of a meltdown, and secondly if the magnetic containment fields (I am not making this up) lose cohesion the plasma'll disperse and vanish.
