I'm having a hard time feeling charitable toward you when you are missing things that are blindingly obvious.

You are demanding an economic analysis to tell you that a much larger, much more complex piece of equipment, made from more exotic materials, is going to be more expensive than a much smaller, much less complex one? This is screaming passive-aggressive denial. It is very simple to understand that point, if you just allow yourself to think about it.

The CO2 point would be worthwhile if fusion were competing just with fossil fuels. But it fails against fission (for the simple reasons Lidsky explained), and fission now fails against renewables.
