There's a key phrase in there that popped out at me. Power stations using this source that would be utilized as we'd know them today are still decades away. That to me leaves a lot of room for take-your-pick bureaucrat(s) -- whether government, private, or both: to financially exploit the situation -- assuming they aren't already.
Sorry for jumping the gun. I know you were looking for cwi's input.

Fusion is a long way from reality. The fuel will have to come from the moon. Getting the required isotope requires bombarding hydrogen with nuetrons. It can be done here, but at great expense. On the moon, just mine some ice, encapsulate it, then set it out on the lunar surface and wait for the sun to break it down into isotopes. This is why the sudden interest in the moon by various world governments. It will be a modern gold rush. And very likely the flash point for a war.
