Wind and solar is not a constant controllable source. Theoretically, fusion would allow for a very consistent and large base load. Tidal power so far has had lots of issues afaik. Turns out it's really hard to make reliable generators that are in constant contact with salt water. Don't get me wrong, all of those other sources are going to be extremely important, but fusion will absolutely be worthwhile if we can actually get it running.

That's not really accurate at all. A GPU running at full load might wear out its fan, but if it's kept at a consistent temperature it's not going to shorten the life by much. The stress on a GPU generally comes from either being over bolted or from the thermal expansion and shrinkage from an inconsistent temp.

You are correct! Here's a really good video on the topic.

Here is a great video talking about the dwarf galaxies around the milky way and how they have shaped and affected our galaxy.
