Im skeptical that fusion will be a silver bullet for our problems. While I agree that producing lots of clean energy is the solution we need for many things, im not sure fusion is going to scale very easy when it is becomes practical for power generation. The sun is only producing thermal power per volume equivalent to a pile of manure, so even if we manage to increase that an order of magnitude, we will need an astronomical amount of plants and infrastructure to make it a primary energy source. And with such scales needed, we could have already done the same thing using other sources including fission.
