I wonder if working fusion utility power generation, by the time it is working fusion utility power generation, might end up being more expensive than putting solar in space and beaming the power, given the potential for launch costs to drop and the possibility of even doing the panel manufacturing up there using asteroids as raw materials in the long run, so avoiding the gravity well cost. Economies of scale can get very big in space and if we are comparing to fusion research we should look at the medium to long run.
