    If beryllium is as hard to source as indicated, how will focus fusion ’empower’ the world?

    In the earth’s crust, beryllium is about as abundant as copper and more abundant than lead. The reason that it is hard to source is that it is not used much commercially. If there is a large scale demand for it, the sourcing problem will disappear. It will probably be more expensive than copper or lead though. There is a nice chart showing the relative abundances of elements in the earth crust at Wikimedia.
