Well, given that fusion power is perennially just 10 years away, we might be able to have it ready by then.
Matter disassembly is the eventual future of energy. Fusing atoms together is a huge scam. The biggest problem is, without massive gravity, it requires temperatures that don't exist naturally outside of supernova explosions. Like other nuclear technologies, it's all over when the first reactor blows. The boffins know that, but want to run their scam as long as possible.
