I have been reading some "optimistic" stories about fusion of late, folks implying it's "right around the corner".  I am more than dubious about that, but perhaps it's not way way off either.  Maybe by 2050 we MIGHT have a working fusion power plant.  That is on the optimistic side.
HDDs killed tape storage about 3 decades ago. Except of course that magnetic tape shipped more exabytes of storage in 2023 than in any previous year. 

I've spent two decades reading about how NAND flash based SSDs are going to kill HDDs. I could spend an hour talking your ear off about how that isn't happening. 

I've spent the last decade reading about the next-gen storage media that are "right around the corner" and will kill NAND flash. None have made it out of the lab for large scale viability. 

So color me a little skeptical that we're going to have large-scale fusion energy any time in the foreseeable future (i.e. next 10 years).

Maybe 2050 earliest.  2070 maybe.

I may not be worried in 2070

Well yeah, it's a mountain dirt road that takes an alternate route to the old highway, which is a sparsely traveled road in and of itself.

those scraggly trees don't look like they're real good at producing oxygen and sucking up CO2

Quite the isolated species, it would appear.
