Our whole civilization might just depend on if we can get viable fusion working in the near future. With global warming, I do not have any hope of a political solution in the timeframe required. We can only hope for a technical solution, and that solution will be very, very energy intensive (carbon sequestration from the atmosphere, massive desalination to provide fresh water for humans and agriculture, etc). Fusion is the only candidate that can provide that level of energy at the density and scale in a location independent manner.
