Natural gas plants are supplied by a network of hundreds of thousands of gas wells, each of which carries risk of groundwater contamination, and frequently noise/light/air pollution as well. Many gas wells impinge on residential property a little bit as well, in states where mineral rights are sold separately to "surface" property rights, like West Virginia.
All of that is a non-issue with fusion, so it's not quite a drop-in replacement.
