ONe of the issues with Fusion: those neutrons mean it isn't the infinite clean energy source: using the reactor makes nuclear waste from the reactor vessel.
Also, even if a viable fusion reaction is produced, it has the same problem as fission reactors: you have to be price competitive with grid storage and load levelling reactors. I can almost guarantee that fusion will never beat solar/wind. Maybe they'd get away with not being NIMBY'd like the fission reactors and overregulated, but if they don't, costs go up.
