Considering we won't see an SMR start construction in the next 10 years, fusion power is little more than a pipe dream at this stage. As Mathgod pointed out in the energy transition thread, this latest announcement isn't a world first.
It's all about maximizing renewable deployment, augmented with battery storage plus baseload natural gas. Anyone suggesting anything different is likely greenwashing or outright lying to you.
The problem with electricity is you can't store it, efficiently, effectively or economically vs burning things.
Renewables + electrolyzer to make green hydrogen holds the most near term promise, but it's not really a thing yet.
