    If there were a practical fusion reactor shown today, it’d be 10 years before it could be started to be deployed at commercial scale.

      But pushing for more renewables can also be a way to stop fascism. Those texan oil barons are funding Trump exactly because they want to keep their business. Putin is funding all those right wing parties because he wants to keep selling gas. And the Saudis, Qataris and other dictators are also not to keen on not selling oil and gas.
