Even though I love the idea of fusion... this line of speech just makes me think of Chernobyl and the speeches they had back then:
'"As an industrial nation we want to show that an affordable, safe, reliable and sustainable power supply is possible, without any loss of economic competitiveness," Merkel said in a statement to the press. "The advantages of fusion energy are obvious."

Hope this helps move us closer to affordable fusion energy. Solar and wind aren't going to cut it for humanities every increasing energy appetite.
