This is a weird comment. There is no reason to expect that a hypothetical economically viable fusion power plant would have an unusually good "power generation to physical footprint ratio". At the same time - you really don't consider "uses water as fuel" an advantage?

It's only an advantage when compared to fossil fuels (and why would one do that?) For fission, solar, and wind, the fuel costs range from small to zero.
