Long distance transmission creates enormous power wastage, and cities are rarely located in places ideal for large scale wind and solar. Fusion can help deliver power to urban centres, reducing the acreage needed for a solar farm.

There are also inland places in northern latitudes that benefit little from solar. Wind and fusion would be a great energy mix for those places.
