We've been 10 years away from usable fusion reactors, but SPARC is expected to have net energy production by around 2034. That really could be a game changer.
Aside from the significant uncertainty that Fusion will ever be practical (the fact we're running out of Tritium being just one problem), I really wouldn't advise looking to tech for solutions. Relentless consumerism takes any new invention and finds ways to be more destructive with it. Your new invention makes a lot of things more energy efficient? Well, fossil fuel stores that were previously too marginal to exploit just became viable; the drilling starts tomorrow. And so on.

Could being the operative word.
