A few points:
-Cheap is fine, though “inexpensive” is more formal. Remember that electricity has a “going price” in every market, and FF would be a fraction of ANY market cost. So apples to apples, FF is beyond “cheap”.

-Since FFS actually does no research itself, wording which suggests it will find or develop anything directly is inaccurate. Supporting those who actually do the R&D is as far as FFS can go.

-Mentioning aneutronic as a good model, “such as aneutronic fusion”, would seem quite reasonable. After all, FFS stands for “Focus Fusion Society”, and it clearly has its direct roots and ‘focus’ there! Bending over backwards to be even-handed would/does come across as somewhat artificial and disingenuous.

-Direct attention on application of the technology to ‘socially correct’ causes is probably beyond the real scope or reach of the Society. Given the resource at the projected costing, those already attending to such matters would be far more suitable and expert at actual implementation. I.e., FF would be a godsend, which they will need very little coaching or encouragement to exploit.
In other words, it is unnecessary overreach to try and lay out or direct the uses to which FF (e.g.) would be put. And it diffuses and pads the statement with distracting verbosity. KISS.

IMO.
