And this approach will be superceded by something else. And that will be superceded in turn. Should we wait forever? We'd still live in caves.
These new approaches don't just show up, they come from the knowledge and scientists trained in whatever the previous approaches were.
Lastly, if this approach results in having cheaper fusion power, but needs extra 20 years of R&D, thats time we don't have.
