        Yes, I’m sure something as simple and resource-light as a fusion reactor will be exactly the thing we’ll be able to build when the oil runs out.

          Oil/LNG not likely to be exhausted in our lifetime, nor do we seem to have the global political willpower to do enough about climate change or perturb capital. Furthermore, the article talks about a lack of VC finding making it unlikely to be viable in the mean time. This is the basis of the sardonic statement in agreement with your comment but also intending to cast a political light on the concern from my end.
