      That’s how most people in the west expected things to play out. Turns out that it’s not just poor countries that are getting hit by climate disasters though. However, the fact that we do need to deal with climate change does not detract from the value of having limitless clean energy that fusion can offer.

      Your argument that developing this technology is somehow a negative because people will keep polluting is utter nonsense It’s pretty clear that we’re going to keep polluting regardless unless drastic societal changes happen. The reason we can’t stop polluting is because our society is based around consumerism and our economy is based on growth. Until capitalism is abolished this problem cannot be solved. Technology has absolutely nothing to do with this.
