Two reasons why today's news is one piece of buckshot but no silver bullet for the climate crisis: 1. From "proof of concept" to demo plant to global implementation takes decades. 2. Only 25% of GHG emissions come from electricity & heat production. theguardian.com/environment/20…
As @ProjectDrawdown shows, there is no single silver bullet. Instead, there's a plethora of "silver buckshot" solutions, from modifying human behaviour to efficiency to smart ag & land mgmt to bleeding-edge new tech like fusion. We need them ALL. drawdown.org
There is no magic deadline to tackle the climate crisis... no hard and fast "8 years until it's too late" finish line. Instead, this is what the science says: every year matters. We can't afford to wait; we must act now. 
PS. I should add that if we listen to Saul Griffith and "electrify everything," then electricity would make up a much larger share of our total power use and the contribution of nuclear fusion would be proportionally greater!
