He's forgetting about the part where it'll be monetized in such a way that only the rich will benefit.

Check again. He never said it wouldn't!

He's not forgetting: that's what he's proposing!

You're not exactly wrong but at the same time we all benefited from the invention of say electricity or computing. If they do invent fusion or something I'm sure we'll get benefits. Maybe not free power but at the very least that allow us to buy it.

With access to that much power we could desalinate seawater on an industrial scale or power some of the carbon capture technologies. It will make things better.
