This is easy to understand: it is a long way from the discovery of an enhanced form of excess heat to a stable, well controlled commercial energy source. A long way with many obstacles, barriers and problems that must be solved.Mainly engineering, technology, materials science. However enhanced excess energy is the first, sine qua non step.
