Okay, but fusion is probably still 10 years away from anything but proof of concept and 25 years away from a commercial power plant being built. In that same time we can put solar on every house roof and wind turbines in all the empty cow fields(assuming lab grown meat takes off) and knock our carbon use down by 90%.

Theres a reason wind/solar is about the only real new investment in electricity anyone is making, its cheap(cheapest per KWH). Sure they are still making new natural gas plants but in 10 years no one will be. We have fusion power now, it literally falls out of the sky all day long. We just have to harness it. Its cheap, easy, safe, we just have to sort out storage.
