ZzzzzzzzzzzzzKABOOOOOM!zzzzzzzzzzzz!
I love the smell of Fusion Power in the morning! What’s that Scotty?! Yes it does not need dilithium crystals! Tesla we can rebuild your towers now. Haha! Well well Anons, guess what just happened this morning? Houston We Have Stable Fusion Ignition. Stable! Boooooom!

Fission is not infinitely scaleable, nor is basically any energy technology we have today. As the population size grows, and our hopes of becoming a space faring civilization and the bounties that we will find after that fact, we need to continue researching and developing new energy technologies, and ways to store them.
Or do you think lithium batteries are the end point of energy storage, and we should just give up on trying to develop new methods that are less destructive to the environment and the people who inhabit it?
There's no sense to saying that "fission is not infinitely scaleable." Nothing is. The point is that fission is reduced to practice and there are huge reserves of fissionables.
I think lithium batteries are a fad. The best form of energy storage is hydrocarbon fuel. It is ridiculous to think that lithium is less destructive to the environment.
