Why? Converting heat into electricity is the easy part, it requires no new tech
That's not the stumbling block for fusion. Getting significantly more energy out than we put in is the issue. Other technologies did this better, and those other technologies are advancing more quickly as well.
That's not to say it's not worth trying since nothing ventured nothing gained. There are other technological advancements that will likely come from our progressions in fusion too which will be great. I just don't see fusion as being a good way to generate energy.
