The billionaires and Big Business (especially Big Oil) own the Republicans and every moderate Democrat in our government. Lobbyists are the bagmen that carry the orders (and bribe money) to their stooges, both Democrats and Republicans, in the House, Senate, White House, and now the USSC.
Whether viable fusion reactors are just days away or decades, our corrupt government will continue to protect the profits of the fat cats that finance the stooges' reelection campaigns. And the voters will continue to elect (and reelect) the a$$hole Democrats and Republicans whose only goal is to screw average Americans. Sadly, those same voters (suckers) will remain as those who scream loudest to "throw the ba$tards out."
So, any organized movement attempting to switch to fusion power isn't going anywhere. All efforts to do so will be blocked by Congress, the White House, or the Supreme Court as long as there is crude oil to be pumped from the Earth.
