I answered why fusion would change the work in ways different to how fission changed the world.

> Look. I understand there are problems with fission reactors. They remain the only feasible way to generate nuclear power in the next 60-100 years at scale. Yes there are downsides and risks. However there’s one big upside vs fusion: it exists.

If you re-read the original comment, it supposed that fusion exists. You can't criticize something in development for not existing and use that as a point against why it won't be beneficial. That's circular reasoning.

> The advantages of fusion are safety, nuclear waste management, theoretical proliferation concerns.

Yeah, just nuclear waste management. No big deal.

> They remain the only feasible way to generate nuclear power in the next 60-100 years at scale.

You absolutely cannot predict with that level of certainty over 100 year time scales. You severely underestimate how much we can achieve over timescales as long as that.
