We should definitely keep earnestly working on fusion, because the potential is so great, and the fundamental physics are sound (after all, solar is just harvesting the waste energy of fusion). But there is a high likelihood that it will not be ready soon, or ever, and so we have to plan as if we won’t have access to it in time.
