It seems to me that itβs a question of long term energy needs, i.e. when civilization goes to the next level and wants to send laser-propelled light-sail equipped probes to other planets with 10% speed of light.

Ok, but that's not the question here :) The question is whether the idea that nuclear (and fusion in particular) is the only way to have climate-friendly energy generation and "avert a looming crisis" is outdated, and maybe no longer stands up when today's technology is taken into account :)
