I'd be happy to wait for fusion, if catastrophic climate change were not bearing down on us like a freight train.

And also if coal were not killing many thousands of people every year, and we didn't have so many large dams past their designed lifespan.

Well frankly, converting to fission in near term (say 15 years) worldwide is pure speculation on our side. This is just not going to happen. I just hope natural gas, hydro and the increasing green generation component can help us get by and perhaps reduce the coal usage.
