the incentive would be mostly the fact that fusion scales really well and can make electricity [adjusting for fixed costs] super cheap. almost too cheap to meter!

also there are other uses that can make really plentiful rocketfuel esp for exploration outside of the inner solar system.

At first I was going to make a counter-argument. But then I noticed the exclamation mark at the end, and decided to defy Poe's law.
