Nuclear fusion isn't the solution to the climate crisis. It's decades away, if it ever happens; the climate crisis is something we're having to tackle now.

Solution:

No more Private Jets or Yachts.

Transportation Infrastructure Overhaul to transition away from cars and diversify to a set of electric or non-fuel forms of transportation (Lightrail, Train, Electric Busses, Bikes, Lamborfeeties.)

But to do the latter we'd have to go on a major guerilla marketing campaign to undo decades of car company propaganda.

And for the former we'd basically have to perform a miracle.

I just bought a house 30 meters above see level. If I calculated this right I will get to retire in a beach front property. That's the best solution to climate change you can get today.

Fusion could become perfect and effective tomorrow and it still wouldn't solve the climate crisis because of the power and influence of entrenched corporations

It will not be tomorrow even for the end of the week
