Nuclear fusion isn't near until they actually start generating electric power. If they can generate power, even if it costs $1,000+ per watt, then I'll be like "Sure, maybe in a couple decades we'll see it in military or specialist applications where cost isn't a factor." But if you can't even generate a single watt of power with a couple hundred billion dollars, it is nowhere close.
