I think it goes without saying that we have been hearing things to this effect for the last decade, if not more...

The start up / standby power for an operating nuclear fusion plant large enough to power a city would likely require a fission nuclear plant adjacent to it. When the technology becomes commerically viable (10? 20? years) it is likely to result in additional 'traditional' plants.

Well this grabbed my attention today as well. I would look forward to the day it moves from science fiction to reality, yet I would bet not in the next thirty years will we see a real viable fusion reactor. We can barely get three new fission plants approved and started, first ones in what- just about 30 years (between online dates)?

Lockheed Martin seems overly optimistic, IMHO
