> To make Fusion work, there is a lot of unproven technology required.
For the critical issue of tritium breeding, it is more like non-existing technology. What is meant to bridge the gap between today's plasma physics experiments and working power plants includes a large amount of fairy dust. It is not a valid comparison to compare that against the advantages and disadvantages of the existing renewable sources. Even the Pelamis wave power plant (which was discontinued for whatever reasons) is far far closer to large-scale energy generation than any nuclear fusion process could be in the next 50 years.
