Well in a kind of way they have achieved their goal it's just that incrementally creeping up on it rather than one big ground event. If you have cancer now your life expectancy is much better than it was 30 years ago. And in 10 years it'll be even better.
Same with fusion. We're getting closer and closer to actually having the technology.
People don't like to hear it but technological development and progress is slow and kind of boring for the most part.
