Yep - so it's kind of a check for "Am I overexcited about fusion energy?". Seems like it would be nice to have the fusion option if it works out but we can maybe get the same benefits promised by fusion from wind + solar + a few days of energy storage. Either way it doesn't seem like it will be truly revolutionary at this point - as you showed, our problems are bigger than just cheap/clean energy, and we do have seemingly viable options for that on the near horizon anyways without fusion.
I'm pro-fusion, I'd like to see more resources allocated towards its development, but my outlook on its potential impact is very tempered.
