The cheap and easy route is wind+solar+battery?
And what about fusion, we spend a lot on R&D but it's pretty clear it will be even more expensive than fission, if you were in charge would you cancel that effort entirely and shift funds elsewhere?

If fusion can compete once it happens, bring it on. But it should be targeting a cost of $1-5/MWh instead of $50/MWh.
Helion's approach might make engineering sense, but it's still a longshot. But that's ok for research.
