 i think it's strictly incorrect to call fusion energy "nuclear power" tho 
 That's actually my main concern. Oh the internal struggles.

 well, fusion powered sounds cool but technically the plant is driven by photo-thermo-electric energy that is provided by a fusion reactor

there should be a word for photothermoelectric energy tho

 Exactly, and as an ape living on a spinning space rock, I love bathing in photothermoelectric radiation when the part of the rock I'm on spins to face the space nuclear fusion reactor every spin.
