Ha! No.

I recall when cold fusion was announced to great fanfare too, back in the 90s I believe. It was fake.

An interesting development. Practical applications won't be seen in my lifetime.

This is great - scary, but great. I like the sun where it is.

This is definitely the next step for humanity to survive, for many reasons. But I'm happy for them to take it nice and slow to figure out how to do this safely. The idea of an endless, burning sun in a building right next door is both fascinating and horrifying.
