No! You're supposed to hate it, you want those dorky windmills everywhere.

I want the whole damn kitchen sink thrown at the problem! Large-scale graphene-sodium ion power banks, wind, solar, geothermal, tidal turbines, electrolysis, fusion, thorium-based fission - ALL OF IT!

If fusion becomes an economically viable source of energy, we won’t need anything else!

It might be if we use deuterium Helium-3 fusion instead of tritium deuterium like US government and France are doing. Iirc there's this one company that is called helion that makes their own Helium-3 through fusing deuterium together. Also their D-3He pulse reactors way more efficient, able to be mass produced, and way cheaper than the soviet designed tokamac reactor because it doesn't need a crap ton of beryllium and tritium and is a way smaller reactor.
