Successful electricity generation from fusion has been 15 years away for at least 30 years.

Two big possibilities I can think of:

  1.  Potential energy. Use intermittent excess power production (e.g. wind) to pump water into uphill storage, then use that head of water to generate hydropower when the wind stops blowing. Pumped Storage Hydropower | Department of Energy
  2. Geothermal energy. Geothermal energy - POST (parliament.uk)
