Basically the only energy that is cheaper and cleaner than fossil fuels is wind and solar, which have only gotten to that point in the last 1-2 decades, so it seems difficult to make claims about what has happened in "history".

I’m not anti fission. But the reality is that many are and the NIMBY effect is strong. You don’t necessarily have that with fusion.

Also, there should hopefully be much less pomp and process around fusion compared to fission due to the safety/radiation profile being much safer.
