Choosing where to put our limited research dollars has always been a challenge. If you try to spread the money over all possibilities, you will get no where. But if I had to choose between, say, solar and fusion, I darn sure wouldn't pick solar.
--Boot Hill
Your choice, but don't forget that, short of a hydrogen bomb, no-one has ever gotten more power out of fusion than was put in.
Solar is routinely producing power now.
Also, a diffuse power source (mutiple small generators) is much more robust, and less of a terrorist target than one big expensive central facility...
