Solar and Wind have recently hit economies of scale that they are already outperforming many past fission plants in year-over-year growth, power output, etc. Solar is fun because it's the cheapest "fusion" system possible, just using some of the waste fusion from the big ball in the sky. It is a sort of "fusion magic".
There's a lot of hope that solar and wind installations outpace a lot of other energy investments and do offer us a road towards "saving us" from climate change. (Though how dirty we generate power is still only one part of the climate change problem, we still need a lot more solutions to carbon capture the dirt we've already emitted.)
