Why doesn't anyone see the elephant in the room: time for fusion has run out, renewables have won. There is no way in the world fusion will ever be cheaper than current costs of solar + LiFePo battery power. And as well no chance commercially proven fusion will exist even on a minimal scale before electricity needs are fully covered by renewables. Continuing fusion research is important to keep the scientific process going, it will surely result in a lot of byproduct discoveries in physics, material science, and a lot more, but the lie about fusion-derived electricity as being a viable and/or necessary thing for humankind, should stop.
