Wouldn't you like to live off of a fuel source that is clean, abundant and cheap? This is the promise of fusion power.

Fission is already all of those things, the media industry just doesn't want to admit they've been wrong to tell people otherwise.

Don't forget the huge pressures from big carbon to keep us hooked to coal-fire plants when liquid salt reactors would be only a few years away if we had our priorities in order.
The long term problem with fission really is the waste, which piles up pretty quickly and has to be held in special places so a gorillian years in the future people or posthumans don't think it's special treasure.
Fusion produces a relatively small amount of waste compared to fission and theoretically much more energy so that's why it's so good.

Oh please, the human race has 1000 years left max. Who cares if there's a bunch of nuclear waste somewhere after that.
