Fusion is folly. It’s 200 years away from viability for many reasons, not the least of which that fission is effective, safe, easy, and ready.

I don't see fusion as ever being possible on earth: can't create conditions of the sun (gravity, huge mass of hydrogen atoms) here on earth. Because of the gravity problem, energy input will always exceed energy output.

Fusion is already here and awaiting regulatory approval.

will it lead to nearly free energy?

Not for you or me.
