I think people are over-estimating how cheap fusion would be in practice. Fusion only makes sense on a large scale. Maybe your electricity is 1 cent a kilowatt

I think people are over-estimating how cheap fusion would be in practice. Fusion only makes sense on a large scale. Maybe your electricity is 1 cent a kilowatt but it comes from 50 gigawatt plant in Ohio. You need trillions of dollars in transmission upgrades to move that cheap power around the country. It is a very similar problem to putting millions of solar panels in the desert.
