Having become a carbon neutral economy a couple years ago since we obviously adhere to the Paris agreement this does not seem like a good solution as we already (would have to have) deployed solutions based on current technology.

Agree that we can get to carbon neutral / carbon negative with current tech.
I do think making plans based on having it are foolish at best.
But I do think we need to keep working on research of it. If we ever hope to achieve a world with “electricity too cheap to meter”, nuclear fusion is the key to it. (That and dyson spheres, but that’s kinda not in scope of discussion).

Electric power too cheap to meter exists and it’s called solar power.
Renewables are dirt cheap. Hoping for even more abundance is forgetting that it’s already ridiculous.

Ah yes, the Fusion Reactors that are coming soon ™ (promised decades ago).
We need energy now, not at some unknown point in the future. Of course, resaeching this technology may make sense. But it does not help today and also not the next 20 years.

Yeah, putting your hopes / goals on a fusion powered future is foolish at this point.
But I def support (lots of) research into it.

Cold fusion has been 10 years away since early 1960s.

It will come right after the year of Desktop Linux (I wish)

Deskto pLinux is here, and it’s fine. I wish it was more popular but that doesn’t stop me from doing all my development, video editing, gaming on Linux.
