Agree with the article but, to me, demonstrates the reason why governments and regulators (and taxation authorities) make a difference here. E.g. if fossil fuels get a 200% tax then maybe nuclear/fusion (fission now) becomes more viable.
Have to concede that wind and solar seem pretty good now, if combined with good grid-wide battery technology.

Lets say good grid-wide energy storage technology - generating hydrogen or ammonia, pumped storage, whatever works. Lots of technologies, and none as challenging as fusion...
