Energy from nuclear fusion is available today – you just need solar panels to capture it.

Nitpick: stellar fusion is fundamentally different from thermonuclear fusion.

Proton-proton fusion is mediated by the weak force [1][2]. A lump of the Sun radiates less power than your body. It works because there is a lot of Sun. Thermonuclear fusion is far more energetic because it's mediated by the strong force.

Yes, and there's also a stealth way to capture it if your planet has any type of gaseous atmosphere: take advantage of air currents that arise from the repeated heating and cooling of your atmosphere using a wind turbine.

Isn't storage still a problem? I suppose there's batteries and pumped-storage hydro.

Only at night. Build 3 data centra and you can provide full solar power to at least one of them at any time, just shift the workload to the resource with the power

Or base your DC in a location with lots of other renewable energy

Just run your AGI during the day and suspend it at night?

Also makes it easier to fight when it turns evil

There actually was some graphene news recently.

I saw a graphene food cooker concept at CES
