Why, do we have unlimited cheap energy? Or the technology to pull out CO2 from the atmosphere at this scale yet?
IMO this is wishful thinking, and the wrong attitude to solve a problem that is right here right now.
We should focus on reducing emissions, not on hoping that a technology that is not yet proven will be available soon
EDIT: sorry for the tone, I just re-read what I wrote. Anyhow what I wrote still stands: we have no proof that fusion will ever bring unlimited cheap energy, if ever viable.
It poses many problems, from neutron activation of the blanket to energy extraction, problems that we don't know yet how to solve, to solve them in a economically viable AND with neutral carbon footprint... well seems just unfeasible to me (hope to be proven wrong). Therefore I might suggest to pursue more understood ways to mitigate the huge problem we have
