Indeed. And we are getting better at that. A lot better. Improvement in solar power have been happening a lot faster than fusion power. It's far better than it use to be, and has the advantage that it is already very good today.

Yes, the goal should be improving solar, wind, and fission until fusion is ready, which might be two decades from now, or never, but advancing beyond fossil fuels should always be a combined effort in multiple fields. If nothing else, they're frequently quite synergistic.
