Even worse with fusion: huge plants (10 GW) that need to run constantly with high power output to remain hardly economical that can’t be buffered with anything else than other fusion plants nearby. My guess: fusion plants will be built for single applications with crazy power usage where downtime doesn’t hurt too much. Errrm, accelerating spaceships?

Space is pretty much the goto application for fusion. Without fusion interstellar travel is basically impossible.
