Fusion is still way in the future.
What do we do in 25 years or so when all the nice fracking gas runs out?
Renewables.....Wind and solar......Great, but, - how do you deal with a month-long blocking anticylone.......In the winter......At night?
'Peak Oil'.....When supplies start to decline, how will the moving-parts of HS2/3 etc be lubricated?
You only have to look at the amount of Biomass energy plants being built and coming online in the next 2 years to see that power will not be an issue.
