Listen up.
Even on this pile of rubble we call a ruined world— where civilization was reset to near zero— our greed hasn't shrunk even one millimeter.
We still yearn for the very stars in the sky.
I'm not interested in survival anymore. I'm talking about a full-scale civilization speedrun.
We're going to use the power of science to save every single person, and build a world with limitless energy.
Of this, I'm 10 billion percent certain.
Heh, this is exhilarating. Get excited—!

Honestly we might not need fusion because nuclear fission power is so underrated. Big oil hates it because it not oil, the hippies hate it because it does not sound as pretty as renewables.
But their a lot of tech that not being used because it so hard to muster the funds and permits to build a nuclear plant. Instead we just keep on extending old plants long past they are supposed to last which seems like a safety risk. Also we cling to fossil fuels because we fear the power of the atom
It worth noting nuclear power might actually be the safest form of power. While a nuclear failure can be epically bad, it is relatively simple and cheap to add a robust set of safety measures that make the worst case scenario nearly impossible, (Chernobyl can only really happen if one does not install modern safety measures and the people handling it are horrifying reckless)
Meanwhile dams have a major track record of catastrophic failure, the mining of rare metals for renewable power, is a ecological death trap, and heck people die maintaining wind turbines simply because it turns out doing work high up is dangerous.
Before you accuse me of being anti renewable, Fossil fuels do not need global warming to kill you. The toxic waste they put into the atmosphere can give you lung cancer and other fun medical issues. Meanwhile a nuclear power plant produces a tiny amount of well contained waste. Fun fact fossil fuel plants also make nuclear waste, because their some radioactive stuff trapped in coal.

Yeah. Chernobyl went that way cause very lackluster safety, causes also why would I call you anti renewable, dafuq, anyway. We can also develop and lean into Molten Salt Reactors with Thorium which are much safer and have meltable corks to drain the liquid Thorium thereby cutting the reaction,
While this is not to say nuclear fission with uranium is bad, given modern SCRAM systems, but thorium is very promising

I apologize for stereotyping green energy enthusiast. Especially since I am one to a degree, fossil fuels suck and coal is never coming back as it not even cost effective. I just got the impression some green energy enthusiast did not like it but I am realising I never heard who named.
Molten salt reactors are cool, you cannot meltdown a reactor that already meltendown:). Also a big advance with modern nuclear reactors is I understand they have vastly more containment than Chernobyl, really Chernobyl was spectacular bad in so many ways.
Did you know Chernobyl melted down because they were running a safety test that was susposed to be completed several years before the disaster. Really in so many ways Chernobyl was an awful design, positive void coefficient, low containment, horrible safety culture.

Wikipedia notes the public believes nuclear power is very risky technology despite it having one of the lowest death rates per kilowatt.
