> Renewables have currently very difficult problems to solve with storage. And fusion does nothing to solve these problems. Even in an optimistic scenario, what you'd end up with fusion is a very expensive power plant that can generate large amounts of energy. Running that as a peaker plant to complement renewables is unlikely to be economically viable. So your only bet really is to have fusion running as baseload power. However there won't be baseload power in the future, because we'll have times where renewables will provide more than 100% of the energy needed. I really don't see how fusion fits into any of this. SUre, intermittency problems of renewables need to be solved. But Fusion ain't the solution. Look at hydrogen-fired power plants, advanced geothermal, or heat storage, those are promising options.
