People talk about solar + wind with storage as leaving hypothetical fusion in the dust.

If a fusion reactor can be made practicable, then we have a clean, low-radiation power generation system that will still work in the face of nuclear / asteroid-impact / supervolcanic winter.

...granted, any of those events could take out most or all of the hypothetical reactors, but it still seems worth noting to me.
