Q&A

Could an entire continent runs on a single fusion reactor plant by 2100?

Affected continent is Asia, the world is running out of coal and natural gas. A major mega structure project is underway, its goal is to provide electricity across the continent with a single fusion power plant buried beneath the seabed. Once this power plant is commissioned in year 2100 C.E. it will supply over 75% of the entire energy consumption in Asia and that's a lot of energy. Since it is inaccessible to nearly all and will be heavily guarded by advanced navy forces and a network of deep space satellites to provide 24hr surveillance, the power plant only required a small team to operate.

I'm envisioning a possible future setting when an entire continent shares a single power source, would such technology be possible by 2100? If so how would Asia shares the responsibility to keep it running?
