This article exposes the dangers of fusion in relation to nuclear weapons:

Also, the extremely huge amount of high-tech equipment is horribly expensive and would consume huge amounts of materials and energy to build. Other practical problems exist too.
Also, the much-publicized “fusion” energy accomplishment might actually allow nuclear weapons escalation, as this article mentions at about half way through the article. See this from a very reliable source:
