I was thinking about something similar recently.

They say we have about 20 years to get to net zero, or face irreversible consequences, increasing exponentially to what is potentially species ending event.

let’s say we achieved nuclear fusion TOMORROW - solving all the planet’s energy need need immediately and forever.

Capitalism means we would be FORCED to drip feed the technology, because plentiful energy cheaper than water would crash the world economy.
