Fusion could be a great equalizer in terms of global access to large amounts of energy: if you have moderately good access to the ocean, you have a nearly inexhaustible source of the hydrogen isotopes available in seawater and required as fuel for a fusion reactor.
Contrast this with both fossil fuels and fission materials. Those resources are the foundation of modern geopolitics. Seawater is not, and way more people have access to it.

You can literally go in-front of your house, dig a whole and in theory you can have enough thorium for a year.
