In speaking of actual implementation of a new source such as boron fusion it will be important to emphasize two truths:

One truth is that the new source will be displacing current sources with a more efficient and less harmful source. This gives humanity some much-needed breathing room to handle oncoming climate-induced upheavals without condemning entire populations to death.

The other truth is that long before humanity starts using enough raw energy to make heating a global concern – we’re currently nowhere near that point and the problems so far have been the result of the chemistry of carbon-based fuels – long before the problem stage is reached we’ll have the resources needed and the time tneeded to implement a full solar power regime on Earth if we so desire.

This is the truth and should satisfy the greens.
