Energy demand will increase due to AI and other technologies, and global electrical generation capacity will need to expand from current levels (estimated at 3,000-4,000 GW); fusion is likely to eventually dominate electrical generation globally as the cheapest, most abundant, reliable, and densest energy source, though solar plus storage is also a viable path.
