> Renewable energy is getting much, much cheaper. It’s expanding very rapidly. All projections, even from economically conservative groups, suggest that the fact that the prices have dropped so far means that we will continue to scale them up.
Have those economically conservative groups considered the armies of NIMBYs that descend upon each new wind turbine project (and yes, also solar projects)? That won't stop renewables completely, but the limiting factor will be not the speed at which you can build them, but the speed of the bureaucracy and of the courts. Not saying those same NIMBYs wouldn't descend with even more force upon a fusion plant of course...
