Yes, but it's not ICF that will make it happen. It's MCF, look to SPARC and ARC being made by MIT & CFS in Massachusetts. Mark these words, by end of this decade we will have Q > 3 in an experimental MCF reactor and it will be SPARC. End of next decade we will have the first fusion power reactors (ARC). Whether they are used as on the grid solutions or instead heat sources for energy intensive processes (think chemical reactions, metal forges, etc ) in the 30's is yet to be determined.
