Fusion power continues to make progress. Recently one experiment came to 70% of break-even, using a somewhat academic standard of break-even.

Fusion may someday work, but considering the number of advances still needed for it to make a useful contribution to replacing fossil fuels, I don't think 30 years is enough time. And that's how much time we have to finish saving civilization. So we can't do that with fusion power; we need to do that with the forms of generation that already function at commercial scale.

Fossil fuel companies probably hope we will convince ourselves that fusion will save us, so we will let them keep on burning ever more oil for another decade or two. But if we do that, it will be too late.
