Summary
The maintenance issues with creating a fusion reactor are challenging, and compared to solar and wind energy, they are not competitive. The use of deuterium and tritium, as well as other types of fusion, may be necessary to create fusion on Earth, but we already have a fusion reactor in the sun that requires no maintenance.

Summary
The possibility of having 100 times more energy production capacity could lead to a civilization that is 100 times as energy-intensive; however, low birth rates worldwide suggest that civilization is not headed toward significant population growth. Urbanization, education, and income beyond a certain level have been shown to cause a decline in birth rates.
