My nephew and I were pondering the following question: what will the real world downsides of fusion be after it has been widely deployed for a few decades? Every time humans have developed a new technology, we have failed to foresee some of the inevitable downsides (in hindsight) of that new technology that only arise and become known after it is widely deployed. I'm curious if I'll be around long enough to see what the answer turns out to be.
