Fusion energy is closer than you may think, there is a nip project that will bypass ITER aiming at 2034 commercial production.
But fusion is not commercially viable due to tritium not being available in enough quanities not yet anyway.
What will happen is nuclear renaissance in the west because ai made the service economy obsolete and vatnik chimpout is also forcing reindustrialization.
Problem is only reactors compatible for a grid with clean energy are molen salt reactor which are not ready since fucking bill gates is the only one that invest and is investing on them (these reactors can reduce energy generation as coal or gas plan and thus adapt to the grid demand).
So your comment is funny, the most likely scenario is conventional gen iv reactors + bitcoin mining (crypto miners would mine excess energy and thus turn bitcoin into a monetary battery) with ethereum smart contracts having some level of integration with the economy since this would make btc the base layer collateral and eth stablecoins the main treasury, bond market long term
