I encourage you to seriously engage with the topic and not just read and regurgitate platitudes from popsci articles.
Solar and wind are nothing like fusion.
Educate yourself, but first maybe pause and spend a second to think that perhaps you aren't the smartest person in the room and you shouldn't begin a discussion by speaking down to someone.
When everything hard looks easy, it is a sign you don't understand it as well as you think you do.
Just some advice for you as you grow up.
Oh child, you're the one who walked into this conversation with a grade school take. Ive worked on software for these systems before i retired from the industry last year.
I never said solar and wind were anything like fusion beyond they're all used to generate power and varying ranges of energy density per area. But I'm certainly better grounded than you in both the economics and ongoing challenges with fusion.
If you want people to take you seriously maybe don't start the conversation with a grade school take on the situation and you wont be dismissed.
