Fusion would be trying to compete with imported fuel, just as fission fails to achieve today except where massively subsidized. In the nearish future, that fuel will be synthetic, likely ammonia, produced at solar farms in the tropics, or at wind farms nearer by. Of course in places where transmission lines are practical, power will be imported that way instead. No one will ever be able to maintain a cartel on the synthetic fuel supply.
