Even if it takes 50 or 100 years to go from where we are now to commercial fusion power, the potential benefits would probably justify the research effort. That being said, fusion almost certainly won't be a key technology for stabilizing climate in the medium-to-long term, though it could be an important energy option many decades from now.
