Wendelstein is a plasma research machine, not a net energy machine. There's no version at that price point which is a viable power plant - ITER is the smallest viable power plant (but you wouldn't want to run it). DEMO is it's successor which is 10x larger in terms of vacuum volume and is meant to be an actual electricity producing plant.
