there’s a very efficient thermonuclear reactor that generates about 470 terawatts of power 24/7, uses no fissile material so there’s no waste, comes with a built-in lossless global distribution mechanism, and won’t run out of fuel for another 5 billion years or so.

So far its main customer is agricultural, with indistrial and residential use increasing. Sadly it’s implicated in certain cancers, but that risk can be managed with inexpensive fabric barrier technology.
