This would eventually provide a low cost (near free) means for us to make and do more faster without adding to human-induced climate change. But with unlimited energy, wouldn’t we consume the earth faster and create new problems?

Fusion will provide near free energy which will replace most fossil fuels. Being free, it will also be used to sequester carbon from the atmosphere so reducing the cumulative build up that is adversely changing the climate. Switzerland is playing a key role in the development of the technology through amongst other contributions, its support of the test reactor at EPFL.
