Best time to invest into fusion research was 50 years ago. Second best time is now.
Nuclear fission is one of a few (if not the only) viable ways to have significant positive impact on climate change short-term (20 years).
Small rant on nuclear waste. I don't think it's a problem. I think it's a solution to fuel future generations of reactors (50+ years). I'd go as far as assume that e.g. Finland could import nuclear waste and store it in that new state-of-the-art nuclear waste repository.
They would make money now to store the waste, and then make money eventually when tech is there to reuse it and generate power.
