We generate electricity with fusion the same way we do with many other technologies.

We heat up water until it turns to steam which moves a turbine to spin some magnets to generate electricity.

Fusion’s advantage over solar is it can theoretically generate unlimited energy in a relatively small footprint. It also doesn’t go out 8-12 hours per day.

But I think the reality is that we need to pursue many options for clean energy.
