I do not believe a working solution will come from these big science projects it will come from somewhere unexpected. It might come in a few years, 200 years or maybe more. The Wright Brothers are an excellent example of this.

controlled nuclear fusion is 30 years in the future where it has been since 1960 and will almost certainly be in 2043.

Maybe they're putting it off until gas and coal finally run out.

Coal will unfortunately be plentiful for almost two centuries. The very reason why uranium based nuclear plants aren't more popular across the globe, is because they could make coal worthless.
