Fusion reactor research is kind of interesting, I suppose it's making alchemy real in a way. Stars make things like helium and lithium from raw protons and electons and neutrons, apparently. and if humans could master that we could basically solve a lot of matter limitatation problems by just making whatever elements we needed at whatever scale from nothing but hydrogen as the raw material (maybe some helium too). That's basically all sci-fi at present, but who knows. As far as making fusion reactors to boil hot fluids to drive steam turbine-generators to power the electrical grid... doesn't seem too likely. High-efficiency monocrystalline Si PV panel fabs would be a better investment.
